Plants! Plants! Plants!

For our summer science topic we are learning about plants. 

Firstly, we learnt what a plant is.  On a gloriously sunny day, we all went onto the field for a plant hunt.  The children found many different kinds of plant including bluebells, grass, daffodils, daisies and buttercups and they enjoyed creating a plant collage.  We even learnt that a tree is a plant.

Next, we learnt about the different parts of a flowering plant.  All the pupils dissected a tulip with a partner and located the stem, leaves, flowers and roots.  We discovered that flowers are made up of petals and different types of flowers have a different number of petals.

Finally, we looked at different parts of a tree.  We had fun making bark rubbings outside and drawing and labelling a tree in our science books.
