• Year 1 Growing Plants

  30/04/2013

  In Year 1 this half term the children are learning about different plants growing in their local environment and naming these. They have planted broad bean seeds each and over the next four weeks the children will be caring for these and completing a bean observation diary, observing and communicating the growth that happens using drawings and words. We have already taught the children that plants provide food for humans and the children had to consider what part of the plant they eat, e,g, carrots (root), lettuce (leaf) etc. Alongside this the children have gone to the poly tunnel in groups with our classroom assistants to plant carrots, lettuce, spinach, radishes and some herbs (sage and basil). Two different children each day are involved in watering the plants under the supervision of our classroom assistants. Finally the children will be investigating the different conditions plants require to grow healthily.
