This half term, Year 1 have been busy growing sunflower seeds and learning all about how plants grow. We carefully planted our seeds and observed them closely each week.

We were very excited to see the first roots begin to grow. Soon after, tiny green shoots appeared above the soil. We learned that plants need water, light, and warmth to help them grow strong and healthy.

As our sunflowers changed, we recorded our observations in a plant diary. We drew pictures and wrote about the changes we noticed, helping us to track the progress of our plants over time.

We also sequenced the stages of plant growth, learning how a seed develops into a young plant. This helped us understand the life cycle of a sunflower and the important stages it goes through as it grows.

Year 1 have thoroughly enjoyed being young gardeners and scientists, and we are proud of how well our sunflowers have grown! 🌻
