This week, Class F have been continuing to think about the book ‘Famer Duck’. Last week, the children investigated sunflowers that had developed seeds. They then used tweezers and their fingers to pull the seeds out. These seeds have now been used to create their own sunflowers using yellow paint, paper plates and the sunflower seeds they harvested. The children also listened to and learnt the song Dingle Dangle Scarecrow with actions.
