Science-plants

What a lovely day.  We took the opportunity to take our learning outside this afternoon and sit in the shade.

We started the lesson by exploring all the words we could think of connected to 'plants' and then tried to link them together by sharing the facts we already knew.  What does a plant look like?  We had lots of similar ideas when asked to draw a plant - a stem, a leaf at either side and a round flower centre with petals around it.   

With our clipboards in hand we set off out into the school grounds to find a plant and develop our observation skills by drawing different examples of plant life. 

Back in class we sorted a variety of pictures under the headings, alive, not alive , never alive.   We had some interesting discussions especially about the picture of a fire. 

 Glass and plastic - were they once alive? See what you can discover?
