*** Pumpkin Investigators in P1/P2 ***

Our P1/P2 pupils enjoyed a fantastic pumpkin investigation this week. They carefully explored the inside of a pumpkin, identifying its different parts and discussing their purpose. The children then separated the seeds from the fibrous strands and made predictions about how many seeds they thought the pumpkin might contain.

Using ten frames, they worked together to count the seeds in groups of ten, reaching a remarkable total of 280 seeds. To complete their learning, the class explored how pumpkin seeds can be planted and grown into new plants, helping them understand the life cycle of a pumpkin and how nature begins all over again.

A wonderful practical learning experience full of curiosity, counting and discovery!
