This week in Year 1, we had a lovely time learning all about the different parts of a plant. The sun was shining, so we took our lesson outside to enjoy the beautiful weather!
We spent time observing real flowers and looking closely at their parts. We talked about the roots, which hold the plant in the ground, and the stem, which helps it stand tall and carry water. We spotted leaves that help the plant make food, colourful petals on the flowers to attract insects, and even tiny buds getting ready to bloom!
Then we created our own observational drawings, carefully labelling each part. It was a fantastic lesson and the children really impressed us with their careful drawings!
