Curriculum objectives

🌱 Explore the natural world by investigating a real potato plant, soil, roots and underground growth.

👀 Make observations and use new vocabulary to describe what they see, feel and discover.

🔢 Develop mathematical thinking through sorting, comparing, counting and weighing potatoes.

👐 Develop physical skills and independence through digging, washing, handling tools and preparing food.

🗣️ Communicate ideas and work collaboratively by predicting, discussing, solving problems and sharing discoveries.

The strongest overarching learning journey is:

“I found it → I investigated it → I changed it → I made something → I tasted it.”
