HOME ED COMMUNITY: Decorate a Plant Pot & Sow a Seed

11am - 1.00pm

Art meets Science meets Geography!

We will start this session by decorating our plant pots. Children will then each be provided with seeds to pot. We will talk about growing, soil conditions and the environmental needs of the plants that we will be using.

Aim

• Provide a fun, creative and hands-on activity that combines art and gardening.

• Introduce participants to the basic process of sowing and caring for seeds.

• Give participants something they can take home, care for and watch grow.

Objectives

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Decorate and personalise a plant pot using a range of creative materials.

• Identify the basic items needed to grow a plant from seed.

• Understand the basic needs of a growing plant, including water, light, warmth and nutrients.

• Take responsibility for caring for their plant and observe its growth and development over time.

* The weather is predicted to be wet for the duration of our session, so for free play and socializing we will be inside playing indoor  games.*

* Our HOME ED COMMUNITY Group sessions are Family Learning sessions, where adults and children work together.*

* DIFFERENTIATION: For our general sessions there will be zones where families with children of similar ages will be paired up, with activity levels to suit them and their ages. So we ask everyone to book in advance and provide ages of children, so that we can prepare the space and differentiation in advance.

(The zones mentioned just means that you and your child would just be in an area of the room/on a table/outside with children of similar ages. It's something that my children and other children and parents have expressed, wanting to be among children of their own age). 

The zones just allows us to cater to different ages, to allow children and their siblings to attend together. *

*Our group founder and teacher is a home educating parent who is qualified to teach adults and (parent and child) family groups and has a wealth of experience delivering workshops and courses, to children and adults. Spanning close to 20 years. We also have a SEN lead who works with us and also in schools. We are DBS Certified.*

* Regular attendees are able to suggest themes of interest for our sessions. For example we did a whole session about foxes and wolves, which touched on nature studies, history, art and role play, as two of our attendees were interested in them and their survival.*
