In Science, the boys and girls have been learning about plants. They began by exploring what plants are and recapping the parts of a plant before moving on to learning about the functions of each part. They were able to clearly explain this in their own folding leaflets.
After this, each child chose a question to investigate, either ‘What happens if a plant has no water?’ or ‘Can a plant grow in the dark?’ They made predictions and, as a class, set up an observational experiment. Over the following days, the boys and girls thoroughly enjoyed making observations and recording their findings in a table. They were then able to draw a conclusion, answer their original question and understand that a plant needs water, light and heat to grow healthily.
