We have been learning the life cycle of a plant. We made an interactive diagram to show the different stages!

Freezing: experiment results 

We were very excited to see the water had frozen in our glove as part of our science experiment about freezing and melting…

Orbiting 

We know the Earth takes 365 days to orbit the Sun and this is why we have different seasons.

Melting and freezing 

In science, we explored melting and freezing! The heat from the hair dryer melted the ice quicker than our hands!

The parts of a seed

We explored the parts of seed and dissected some to see the seed coat, food store and embryo. We planted our own seeds to see how they will grow too!

What do plants need to survive?

We are carrying out an experiment to see what happens if plants do not get the things they need to survive. Each group will deprive the plants of one key thing and then we will record our findings.

Weather 

We looked at what the weather can be like during each season and decided what clothing we would wear.

We know the seasons of the year and the changes that happens as the year passes by!

Parts of a Plant

We have recapped the names of the different plant parts. We also talked about the special job each part of a plant does. We watched a video which shows how a plant grows from a seed and were amazed by how far the roots spread.

We know that living things are divided into five different kingdoms. Did you know about bacteria, fungi, plants, animals and protocist?

Dead, living or never alive?

We are learning about plants this half term. We recapped what we had already learnt about the terms ‘dead’, ‘living’ and ‘never alive’. Then we went on a hunt around the school grounds to find objects that fit into each group.
