The children are sat down in a circle. The teacher
says:
Plants
need us and we need them.
ou may think plants don't need any kind of care, but they really do.
They, as we do, can fall ill. How?:
- If
they don't receive water
- If
they receive too much water
- If
they don't have enough soil
- Some
insects attack them
- Pollution
provokes their death
- If
they don't have enough light to grow up, etc…
If
we take care of them they will give us plenty of things we need; besides
they decorate our houses and gardens and offer us their beauty.
Which things do the plants give us?
- Wood:
to build houses, pieces of furniture, paper,…
- Cotton
and clothes: to make dresses, sheets, tablecloths, blankets,…
- Sweets:
liquorice, vanilla, spearmint, popcorn, ….
- Medicines:
camomile for the stomach-ache, syrup for the cough, …
- They
clean the air we breathe
- Food:
for the animals (cows, sheep, bees, …)
- Dyes:
to make colours
- Smells:
to make perfumes.
Now
we know plenty of things about what plants give us, so let's draw
and glue some products from plants on a mural.
The teacher asks the children to bring some products
from plants; these products can be in its natural state or some images
or pictures from magazines, newspapers, ... (a piece of wood, cotton,
different papers, some thread, popcorn...).
When the children bring the different material from
home, they show them to their mates and glue them on the mural.
