P4 Plants Blog by Exclamations Marks group (Gregor, Hannah M, Hannah Mac, Adrianna and Rishi)
On our new plants topic we have been learning about the parts of a flower or plant these are some of the parts. The first part is the roots the roots absorb water and nutrients from the ground. There is also the stem water up inside it. The flower attracts bees with its colour and scent. The flower also has different parts.
We have also dissected a tulip. We had a labelled sheet that we stuck the part of the tulip down that it said. Some of these pars are petals, ovule, stigma, anther and many more . We had lots of fun chopping parts out of the tulip. We learned about pollination and fertilisation.
This is how it works, for pollination the bee digs down in the flower for nectar and gets pollen all over it and when it goes to the next plant the pollen falls of. Fertilisation is when the pollen blows back out of the flower and makes new plants grow. That is how fertilisation and pollination work.
We have been very busy growing our petunias and tomato plants. Some people have been growing theirs behind the stage and others have been growing theirs in the maths cupboard, while others are growing them in the classroom. Lots of people have decided to grow theirs with no light and so far they are a bit floppy but they are ok. If you want to have a look we will put pictures on the blog and if you are in another class you can come and have a look.
We also made some dandelion flower paintings. First we made the green stem and the little leaves using a paint brush. Then we made a black circle on top of the stem and left it to dry. When it was dry we got some white paint and dipped our fingers in it and put our finger tips on the paper around the black circle to make the seeds. Some of us made some of the seeds float in the paper around the dandelion. It was so fun making our arty pictures!
Have a look at our lovely pictures below!
