Science-Plants and Trees

Friday 10 May 2024

We have found so much joy in watching our seeds grow. You may have noticed lots of plants dotted around our school grounds. Each class have provided ‘the right’ conditions for our seeds to grow. We are currently growing: strawberries, beans, peas, mint, chive and willow.

This week we have all been on a field walk to identify deciduous and ever green trees/plants. We used a key to help us look at the leaves and identify the name of the tree. We then thought about if the leaves were waxy and spiky. These two elements often indicate an evergreen plant.

Help at home: Can your child tell you what a seed needs to grow? Can they name the parts of a tree and plant?
