This week the children have enjoyed finding out more about the plants and animals that we have in and around the school grounds. We very much enjoyed hunting for wildlife in the garden with our RSPB visitor on Tuesday and will be going out again on Friday to see what we can spot. We have also been photographing different types of plants using the ipads. The children had to look really closely to find things that they wouldn't normally notice. We have also been looking at how animals have young, some of which don't look anything like their parents! We have looked at the life cycle of a plant and have set up our own experiment with cress seeds. We have been observing what happens to the cress seeds that we have placed in different locations around the school and havebeen surprised with the results so far! Perhaps you could try growing some cress at home, if you do the different location test as we have at school remember to keep everything the same except for where you place the pots of seeds.
