Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
In a community circle time, learners recite a poem about gardening "I have my garden" Have learners observe and talk about a conversational poster on the different types of soil E.g. sandy, clayey and loamy soil. Using different types of soil in separate containers, have learners watch and feel the types of soil (make sure learners wash their hands well after this activity) Discuss with learners how to make soil fertile for a successful gardening. You can guide learners plant seed in the three types of soil and observe them daily for a class project (Let them water them daily)
