We have been learning all about Plants in Science. We know the names of different plants, the parts of a plant and trees and what happens to evergreen and deciduous trees during different seasons.
We also planted bulbs to help us observe how a plant grows over time. We gave these as a gift for Mother's day so we can help look after them and watch them grow at home.
We visited Greenhead park to observe the seasonal changes.
We enjoyed inviting our parents in to spend time with us and see all the exciting ways we learn.
