Symme-tree??

This week, we took our junior kindergartens outdoors. Each child collected a favourite leaf.

We then looked at them closely and noticed the colours, the lines and veins, any marks. We talked about how each half of the leaf was just like the other half. We introduced the concept of symmetry. I then cut the leaf in half, and like a puzzle, they had to find the matching half of their leaf and put it back together.
