Harvest and investigating vegetables

In Nursery this half term we have been thinking about our food and where it comes from as we have been learning about Harvest. This week we investigated a range of vegetables. Some of us were surprised by what we saw when they were cut open. We used lots of different adjectives to describe them and made comparisons between them, spotting similarities and differences. The children learnt what a parsnip was and decided it looked like a white carrot. They also told me the sprout was like a baby cabbage and that the sweet potato and butternut squash were the same colour inside. We were excited to find seeds in the pumpkin and butternut squash too.
