- Plant Reproduction - Life Cycle of a plant. Parts of a flower. Pollination. How are flowers pollinated. Fertilisation of flowering plants. Seed dispersal. Seed germination.
- An activity to assist learners in understanding
the concept of plant reproduction would be to have them each plant grass seeds in a plastic cup covered by either soil or wet cotton. They will spray the seeds with water daily and observe the growth or lack of growth given the environment it is in.

2.Leaf Colour Changes
- Photosynthesis - How do plants make food. Stages of photosynthesis. Absorption of light. Hydrogen and Oxygen roles. Carbon dioxide. What does photosynthesis produce for human consumption. Why is photosynthesis important.
- A lovely activity for learners to develop the concept of photosynthesis is a creative poster activity where children are divided into groups of 4 and asked to create a poster using craft and recyclables to create a visual poster of photosynthesis in the way they have understood it.

Learners need to tend the patch weekly and observe the process that takes place. The compost can be used in their vegetable patch.

Social Science
- Growing Vegetables AND vegetables and the environment.
- The cycle of a vegetable - seed to plant - Seed Germination, Growth and Flowering - Fruiting - Ripening - Harvesting and Saving Seeds.
- Activity: This activity line up with the natural science activity of plant reproduction and grass growing. Based off their observation’s children are given a vegetable cycle blank chart and they need to draw in the different cycles of what they saw happen with the growing of their grass seeds.
-
- Heathy Eating AND a balanced diet.
- Vegetable Nutrition - Good Source of vitamins and minerals. Folate, where it is found and what it does for our bodies. Vitamin A, what veggies have it and what it does for our bodies. The importance of fibre found in vegetables.
- Activity: Each child is given a paper plate and instructed to dish up a healthy plate of food based on what they have learnt about nutrition and a balanced diet. Grade 3 learners can include the vitamins that the vegetables they select to draw give to their bodies.
-
- Types of Vegetables AND seasonal vegetables.
- Vegetable Types - Leaf, Flower, Bulb, Root vegetables. Some fruits that are eaten as vegetables.
