EYFS Plant eater

Pupils explore the parts of a plant using a variety of fruit and vegetables and come away with a greater awareness of their functions and a sense of awe and wonder that they also provide us with food.

Between May and October this workshop can take place outside in our Schools’ Vegetable Garden.  

Learning outcomes

We design our sessions to match the learning outcomes in the national curriculum. All our sessions have a cross-curricular approach and are tailored to suit the educational needs of your group.  

This session offers pupils the opportunity to: 

• Listen to and follow instructions.

• Find out about the different parts of the plant including seeds.

• Discover that plants are a source of food.

• Sort and classify fruit and vegetables to show which parts of a plant they eat.

• Talk about their findings.

• Identify the plants in the work of artist Arcimboldo.

• Create artworks inspired by Arcimboldo.
