While ideas of ecology, biology, horticulture, etc., are far too abstract for Pre-Primary students, young children are curious about their living environment and are ready to be introduced to the idea that they live on this earth along with plants and animals. Although students at this level are most often in awe of the natural world, not all are equally familiar with the living environment. To foster students’ curiosity about the natural world, Aadharshila Vidyapeeth conducted a craft activity on 09.09.2021, where students of class Pre-Primary pasted the cut-outs of parts of plants and labelled them. This more detailed thinking will further develop their science skills of observing and classifying, and, at the same time, build a foundation for future learning about plants and relationships among living things in our environment.
