For Health and Well-being we have been thinking about and discussing what plants need to flourish and grow.

We remembered the story about poppies in Flanders growing in the mud . We know they need water, soil and sunlight to be able to grow.

We couldn’t believe how tiny the poppy seeds are. There are two varieties here. One looks like ground pepper and the other looks like the pepper you have to grind. It’s amazing to think that these tiny seeds might grow into beautiful poppies.

We have scattered them to see if they grow.

At home some of the class have already been busy planting. We have  peppers, courgettes, radish,lettuce, garlic and sunflowers. Some of these were planted in our gardens, allotments and greenhouses.

We have to remember to keep watering our plants and checking they are getting enough sunshine to grow properly.
