Grade 1 Activity — Planting Seeds

Children of Grade 1 are learning about plants and seeds. An activity was conducted which was spread over a couple of days. Students were asked to bring plastic cups and soil was put into the cups. Different varieties of seeds like fenugreek, coriander, mustard and green gram were given and they planted them into their respective cups. Some cups were placed in the corridors outside where sun was sleeping in and a few cups were placed inside the class where the sun rays could not seep in.

Children sincerely watered their cups every day and eagerly waited for little saplings to peep out from the seeds to greet them. A few days later, when little green shoots appeared, their excitement knew no bounds.

The seedlings in the cups placed inside the class did not grow well as it did not get enough sunlight. Children learnt that for a seed to grow into a plant it requires sunlight, air, water and soil. They proudly showed their plants to Principal Ma’am and shared their knowledge and experience about the activity.
