Does this build on prior experiences/interests of the children?

Built from interests of children After Jack brought in sunflower seed into class for show and share last week.

What is the focus? About what am I being intentional? Will I observe/record information?
Learn what seeds need to grow.
Students need to be able to identify things that seeds need in order to grow.

Linked to Australian Curriculum - Foundation Year Content Descriptions, Science Understanding - Biological sciences

Living things have basic needs, including food and water (ACSSU002 - Scootle )

Guiding Behaviour Consider what you need to put in place to support children:

Expectations of childrens behaviour: Children are to use 5 stars listening (Your eyes are looking at the person talking, your
ears are listening lips are together, hands are folded in your lap and legs are crossed or keeping feet quiet).
Emily may need extra support from Supporting Teacher.

Resources:
Printout of things that seeds need to grow? (Appendix 1)
Laminated cards of things that seeds need to grow and things that things that seeds dont need to grow.
Differentiation strategies: This might be consideration of an individual child and the strategies required to support that child.

You will use a lesson plan for group times (music, language, story, beginning a session etc). You need to think though how you will engage
with the children, the language you will use, the questions you might ask etc.

Transition Goals Derived from QKLG Children will be transitioning from the mat. I will
How will you transition to select student to go off to choose an activity. By
this section of your using phonics of students first letter of their
day/next activity/lesson? Standard 5.1 names.

Standards 4.2

Standard 2.3

Introduction: Intro.: We will be learning about: What seeds

Introducing the topic and Standard 5.2 need to grow?
settling children Question: Do you know what seeds need to
Standard 2.3 grow? (checking for prior knowledge).
Explain and show on printout (Appendix 1) the
things a seed need to grow are soil, air, space,
water and sunlight.
Body: Body: Going around the table ask each child to
Standard 2.3 recall the 5 things seeds need to grow.
Then spreading the laminated cards on the table
Standard 4.1 and ask students to identify things that seeds
 need to grow and then things that seeds dont
need to grow.

Conclusion: Conclusion: Students can then draw and colour

Standard 4.1 the things seeds need to grow.
(this allows me to check for understanding.
Checking if my students can display their new
knowledge)
Transition to next Standard 1.2 After students are finished drawing they can then
activity move to the next activity.

Evaluation / Reflection:

The lesson went very well. Majority of the class understood and could identify the needs of seeds. But I think a work sheet
that the student can colour and glue in the correct need of a seed to grow, would benefit the child as they can take it home
and have a clear diagram of the 5 needs. I believe this may give them a better understanding and benefit a few students
that had trouble drawing or didnt even want a go at drawing the 5 needs. So, it was harder for me to formative assessing.
