The two classes enjoyed sharing the children's book "How many seeds in a pumpkin?"
The title of this book became our question for investigation.
We wonder ......HOW MANY SEEDS IN A PUMPKIN?
* Talked about how pumpkins grow
* Discovered there was a pumpkin patch in the school grounds
* Organised and went on a pumpkin hunt
* Found a pumpkin and took it back to class
* Recorded how many seeds we thought were in the pumpkin
* Cut pumpkin into big slices and worked with a buddy to remove all the seeds
* Counted the seeds using tens frames and counting in tens
We found 112 seeds were in our pumpkin.
