Our Sunflower Study

We finally got round to completing our Sunflower Unit. The boys planted sunflower seeds in around September last year. By early December they were starting to flower.  By the time we arrived home from our holiday, they were starting to die.

Sunflower Study 

 
We took heaps of photos of these beautiful sunflowers as they grew. Here are some of them.
 
The flower bud just starting…
 
Opening!!!
 
Following the sun on a lovely, cloudless day!
They were so big and bright!
 
The flower is dying.
 
 
We borrowed many books about Van Gogh from the library and the boys used oil pastels to draw their own sunflowers.
 
 
Then they made sunflower cupcakes pretty much on their own. They did use a cake mix. They measured everything they needed to put in, stirred and placed the batter into the cupcake containers.  Even iced them themselves.
 
 
We bought a packet of sunflower seeds from Aldi and the boys tried them. They actually liked them!! But we then made sunflower butter (Sunflower Butter) out of some of the seeds. They didn’t like this at all. (And I have to say I agree with them on this one).
 
 
We also completed many activities from the Sunflower Pack and the Sunflower Unit that I made for them. Also I have created some Sunflower Size Sequencing Cards and a Sunflower Dot Pack.
