Image playback

 

  • Phase 1 :language in production  (if necessary the teacher brings the missing vocabulary)

The class is divided into 4 groups. a poster/group.

-> let the children express themselves

->What type of writing is it? a photo/a photo poster

->Locate the scene, describe flowers, vegetables, trees, characters, buildings, tools, functions of objects...

->foreground/background

->naming colors, shades

Then when regrouping, the group explains what they discovered in the image.

 

  • Phase 2:language in production(reuse vocabulary)

When the 4 groups have passed, synthesis: What do these photographs of works of art have in common?

 

 

jardin anglais
représentation jardin égyptien
jardin japonais
jardin boboli
  • Phase 3:language in production                                                          (You can also launch the project from here)

In large group, reading of the 5th poster (vegetable garden)

 

Question:  Initial designs

- Where do the garden vegetables come from? How are garden vegetables born?

          _cc781905-5cde-3194 -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_       express the notion of "seed"

- What is a seed for you?

          _cc781905-5cde-3194 -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_       express orally the idea that they have a grain

 

Initial representations:

Draw a seed as you imagine it. As we imagine.

On a sorrel leaf...

What an idea, what an idea...

Who made us honey

By buzzing with the four wings.

step 3=Representation on sheet in pencil(make observations and keep records)

  • What I have done......(to the diagram)

  • What I think.....(anticipation of the result)

 

 

We water regularly and observe what happens.

What I think

What I have done

What's in a seed?

you have to go see...

material: magnifying glasses, seeds softened by soaking them in water the day before (beans)

Seed anatomy

  • a "skin" envelope = the integument

  • the germ = the seedling

  • reserve elements = cotyledons

Gardening 2

 

Planting in the school garden

 

Tomato, cucumber and strawberry plants were purchased from garden centres.

Observations in class, touching, smelling, noticing the small flowers of strawberries

 

equipment: stakes for tomatoes, transplanters, watering cans

la graine de haricot dans le pot

Tuesday, April 21, 2009, I plant my bean seed in a pot with potting soil.

la plante se développe
les plantes ont grandi

Tuesday, April 28, 2009, my seed sprouted. 
I see the seed at the top of a stalk and it comes out with little leaves.
It's a plant.

la plante a des feuilles
la plante se développe

Tuesday, May 5, 2009, my plant grew. There are two beautiful leaves and a bud between the leaves. The seed withers.

Activity sheets

I measure my plant as it grows using a dipstick.

I write today's date on my strip (as well as my first name).

Mathematical activity: I compare lengths

plant life

 

Regular observation will raise awareness of plant life.

The vegetable

Its needs

  • food

  • light

  • water

  • heat

  • humidity

His evolution

  • it grows, it grows

  • it multiplies

  • it reproduces

  • it changes with the seasons (foliage)

His environment

  • land or air

  • the different parts of the plant

  • aquatic environment

Its port

  • erect, creeping, climbing plant

Activities :

  • regular plant care -> need water

Concept of life:a plant lives, it needs water, light, nutritional elements (soil), it changes and can wither (can die).

  • tracking schedule - measurement

  • cuttings: they faithfully reproduce the characteristics of the mother plant.

  • sowing: lentils, peas, radish, grass, catnip, marigolds...

their prolonged observation makes it possible to see the flowering and to obtain new seeds.

Seed concept:a seed gives birth to a plant.

Notion of species:a definite seed gives a definite plant.

cycle concept

Notion of causality:the conditions of development of a plant are determined by the conditions of germination.

Structuring of time:chronology of events

Logic

  • two identical flowers

  • find the halves

Scientific awakening

Observation - description - representation

Petals, heart, stem and leaves

Concept of life: the cut flower

  • she needs water

  • it withers and dies

  • it is no longer in the ground and can no longer feed

Graphics

the flower: small oblique sticks
