GARDENING

GREEN FINGERS ?

As part of our Great Outdoors topic, the children have been busily planting a crop of lettuce. 

They learnt how to clear the ground for weeds and sow the seeds in rows. In a few weeks time,if we tend to them carefully, we are hoping for some lovely lettuce for our picnic.

We have also been learning about the different parts of plants and the jobs they do.This gave us chance for some close observational drawings of the stems,flowers,leaves and seeds in the school garden.
