The
children recently participated in making vegetable soup at Preschool. Each
child contributed by bringing one vegetable to class, and by assisting in
cutting up vegetables. We were pleased to see the wide variety of vegetables
that the children brought to share.
The children learnt some new names of vegetables while playing the game “What Is Missing?”
After
the story, the children sat down to try the soup they had made. Some were happy
to simply have a taste, while others asked for seconds and even thirds.
While
others used the loose parts in a more abstract style of Play.
Until next time,

The children learnt some new names of vegetables while playing the game “What Is Missing?”
“Arugu...
what?” said Charlie while trying to pronounce Arugula. Rutabaga also proved to
be a challenging one.
We
spoke to the children about vegetables in general, their nutritional value, how
they can be eaten, raw, cooked... and discussed which vegetables grow above the
ground and which grow under.
The
felt board story Stone Soup was told while the soup was cooking in the class,
and the wonderful smell of stewing vegetables could be smelt in the air.
On
another day, we had the pleasure of watching how creative the children were
with loose parts provided to them during free Play.
Some
children used glass and wooden beads, and rocks as pretend food for the dolls.
