This week we will be learning all about harvest time and the food that grows around us. The children will help us create our own harvest table, where we can look at and talk about different fruits and vegetables and see what they look and feel like.

We will talk about the vegetables the children enjoy eating and give them the chance to choose a favourite vegetable to paint. This will encourage them to talk about foods they know and enjoy while getting creative at the same time.

We will also share some food-related stories together and explore how people around the world enjoy different foods and vegetables. This will give the children an opportunity to talk about the foods they eat at home and discover that families may enjoy lots of different meals and ingredients.

You can continue this learning at home by talking about the vegetables you use in your family meals. You could even let your child help choose, wash or prepare a vegetable for dinner. It is a simple way to make mealtimes part of their learning too.
