Circle time: The children were asked what they know about gardens. As they offered their ideas, on the interactive whiteboard I created a web based on their comments and questions. The illustrations that the children drew next to the written word helped them understand the web better. After the discussion a KWL chart was developed to indicate what children know about the topic and what they want to learn. Later on in the day, the children were read a story on which the present project is based.

Topic: Flowers
Outdoor play: Flower Hunt.
Children wore bee headbands to pretend they are
bees looking for flowers to pick up nectar.
They covered their eyes until teacher hid
the flower cards in the school yard.

The bees were ready to look for the flowers.
Ready, steady, go......
They looked in each spot and when all the flowers
were found the children returned to the
gazebo which represented the beehive.
