Room 2 & 3's Green Week 'Wondering'

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.
