VIP Club

Once a month all of the VI pupils at Kings Copse come together for a VI afternoon. This is a time when we can address things specific to VI children. Recently we discovered that some of our pupils were finding naming fruit and vegetable a little tricky. So an afternoon of fruit and veg was planned. 

We encouraged the children to use all of their senses when investigating the fruit and vegetables.

Smell is an important sense then using food, it can give us immediate information for some items.

Close up investigation can reveal features we never knew of.

The children were encouraged to handle and even pull apart certain vegetables to get a clearer understanding of what they consist of, so a cauliflower needs to be pulled open to reveal the heart.

Broccoli feels very different when punched apart!

There was lots of talk and some surprises for the children. Thank you Mrs Keene for arranging such a fun afternoon!
