Stage 1 learners were introduced to the lesson ‘Parts of a Plant’ with the help of a nature walk. Learners were led into a discussion about plants, where they are found, and the different parts they have. They explored a range of familiar flowering plants, herbs, shrubs, climbers, cacti, etc. on the school campus and recognized major parts of the plant (roots, stem, leaves, and flower). After taking a closer look at the plants, learners recorded their findings by simple observational drawings and labelling parts of the plant in their notebooks.
