3.vi. Examining a variety of aromatic leaves from herb plants

The children are invited to examine the various mint leaves, which are distributed throughout the classroom and adjacent playground.

The children glue a single leaf, from one each of the plants examined, onto the A3 worksheet and describe and identify how the leaves are different. Watch pupils engaged in examining the different leaves below.

Mrs Moore helps the children to reflect on what is different about each leaf so they can be identified using a classification key. She also indicates how this leads to the next activity (Watch the video below).
