Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

In a community circle time, let learners sing songs about plants and discuss the parts.
Using a picture or a real plant, guide learners to point to and name the part (roots, stem, leaf/leaves). After detailed discussion have learners make sentences with the parts of plant e.g. this is the leaf, this is the roots. Post a drawn tree on the board, using word cards, have learners pick and post the card at the appropriate part. Repeat the activity to ensure that learners can identify the main parts of a tree. Using a poster or picture, have learners draw, colour and label a plant and talk about their drawing using the right terms/names.
