Lesson Beginning: Exploring Sunflowers

Introduction to Sunflowers

🌻 Good Morning, Little Artists! 🌻

Today, we’re going to embark on a colourful journey into the world of Sunflowers! These cheerful flowers are not only beautiful but also bring sunshine into our lives, even on the cloudiest days.

Attention Grabber

Let’s Start with a Story!

Gather around, everyone! I have a little story to share.

Once upon a time, in a sunny meadow, there grew a group of tall and vibrant sunflowers. Each morning, they would wake up and stretch their leaves towards the sun, dancing happily in the warm light. One curious little sunflower, named Sunny, dreamed of meeting the sun and learning all its secrets. Can you imagine what adventures Sunny might have?

Questions to Spark Curiosity

• What do you think Sunny would say to the sun?
• Why do you think sunflowers turn towards the sun?
• How do sunflowers make you feel?

Interactive Activity

Great job, everyone! Now that we’ve warmed up like our sunflower friends, let’s get our creative juices flowing!
