The Guidelines for the Learning and Development of Children Aged 3-6 state:
"Young children should be supported to gain useful direct experience and sensory awareness through exposure to nature." In spring, when everything is coming back to life, children find that flowers, some budding and others competing for colour, reveal a landscape of spring blossom and beautiful flowers. Beautiful things always inspire children's curiosity and desire to investigate, and the journey to discover spring begins immediately ......
The flowers are so fragrant, do they bloom in spring?
Are there different flowers?
What else will there be in spring?
What are the flowers in the nursery playground?
What is the most beautiful flower in spring?
The insects are so busy in spring!
When children get into nature, there is always magic happening. Here, so many magical collisions between children and spring have taken place. Based on a problem-oriented approach to teaching and learning, and with a series of questions and curiosities, the LWS babies have engaged in a lively collaboration and research. Now, let's follow the LWS babies' PBL project-based course "Interesting Spring" and collect those lightbulb moments together!
The Imagination of Spring
When the teacher asked the LWS babies to use words to describe spring, this is what they said:
Spring rain, Kite flying, Willow, trees green, Sprouting, Peach blossom, red Strawberry picking Outing, Blowing bubbles, Sowing, rainbows,Growing, hope......
So Baby LWS collaborated with an intelligent drawing robot to create a picture book about spring.
Use the wall chart to introduce children to the names of rapeseed flowers and inspire them to say what their names mean.
Observe the objects and use multiple senses to perceive and experience the rapeseed flower. Discuss: the structure of the rapeseed flower, its growth sequence, height, colour, shape and relationship to people's lives
Children enjoy the teacher reciting the children's song 'Rapeseed' and discuss: how to care for the flowers.
Observe the shape of the petals of the rapeseed flower outside (cross family)
The LWS babies recorded the colours of spring with the help of gouache paints and made the beautiful rape flowers appear on the paper, painting the stems, then the flowers and leaves, adding a golden garden wilderness to the nursery.
Recall experiences and consolidate knowledge of the characteristics of some flowers such as plum blossom, cherry blossom and peach blossom.
Try to express a variety of flowers by folding, cutting, drawing and pasting.
Experience the joy of expression and creativity and develop children's love of nature.
Know the definition of pollination: the process by which pollen exudes from the anthers and falls onto the pistil stigma after the flower has opened.
Pollination methods
Insect-borne flowers
With showy corollas, fragrant flowers and sweet nectar, such as peach, cherry and plum blossom
Wind-borne flowers
No showy colours, fragrant scent, lots of light pollen (e.g. maize, wheat, rice)
Through a series of educational activities on the theme of bees, children are inspired to protect and care for bees.
Through observation, questioning, recording and visiting, children will take the initiative to explore the appearance and characteristics of bees, their habits and their usefulness to humans, and will be able to express them in their own words.
They will be able to use different materials, means and methods to express and make bees and develop their ability to use their hands and brains.
The continuation of Spring
Recognise the shape of different flowers and learn to use different lines and shapes to represent the shape of flowers.
Expression and creation of flower forms through appreciation and observation of flowers.
Instruct children to make orderly, comprehensive and detailed observations to compare and understand the characteristics of different flowers and their forms of expression to achieve a focused finish.
Use talk to stimulate the development of imagination by sublimating existing experiences and guiding children to express and create the forms of flowers.
Under the begonia tree, the LWS babies added a colourful little corner to the beautiful campus. They planted a strawberry seedling with their little hands and grew with it slowly, experiencing the sweetness and joy of the harvest.
Next to the begonia tree, the LWS babies used the cardboard boxes and cardboard boxes they had collected to make a lovely little house, and they told us that Miss Spring lives here.
In this project-based activity, the children got involved with nature in a playful way, creating a different kind of spring with their own hands, sharing the joy of success with each other and growing their love for life.
The classroom at LWS Kindergarten is just that:
It is play and learning; it is play and creation.
Surrounded by love and freedom, the children's five senses open up and they achieve growth in their overall abilities, waiting for the magic of time.
Years from now, LWS children who are active in all walks of life will remember their childhood: the LWS Kindergarten in spring, where they searched for flowers and plants, chased insects and birds, grew a natural artistic character and enjoyed a happy and free time.
