Growing Things

This term we are loving planting and watching all sorts of things sprout and grow. Last week we planted some beans, peas and sunflower seeds.

We put them in a sunny spot and made sure they had enough water. Nine days later and look and what has happened:

   

We were so excited to see they have sprouted and are beginning to reach for the sky. We spent some time doing observational drawings and labelling yesterday afternoon. If you look closely you can see the roots growing down and the sprout growing up. Some even have leaves on them.
