How Does our Garden Grow Parson Street Year 5

Year 5 Parson Street Primary School have been out in the garden!

In this term's green-fingered topic, How Does Your Garden Grow, we are learning all about plants and flowers.  We began with an explanation text in English all about how bees pollinate.  We looked at various ways plants are pollinated and then zoomed right in on the reproductive systems of flowers.  Want to know what all those tiny parts of a plant or flower are called?  Ask a year 5 pupil!  We are continuing to explore leaves, germination, seed dispersal and habitats.  You may find us pottering about the garden areas of our playground as we wait, excitedly and patiently, for our newly planted sunflower seeds to grow.  Our aim is to have three large troughs of very tall sunflowers by the end of the school year!  And the best part?  We'll know how they grew, how they can be pollinated and what conditions made our growing successful.

We hope we can share pictures of our sunflowers as they grow.  Do any other classes have plants growing that we can see too?
