The children at BestStart Willowpark have been learning about how we can grow and eat our own produce!

On Monday the children carefully measured out the mung beans and placed them in our special sprout jar with lots of water. We left them to soak and absorb the water over night, this magically made the beans know that it was time to grow and sprout! 

Every morning and afternoon since we have been washing them out with cool water and have been amazed at how fast they have sprouted.  Today was the big day where we finally got to try our mung beans, the children were all very excited to eat them.

This learning opportunity is just a small glimpse of the ‘magic’ we offer children everyday here at Willowpark. We can’t wait to try our chickpeas next week!
