Plan ng the seeds of success
Our summer term Science project centred around Growing Plants . The children had the opportunity to plant their own seeds and bulbs , and were fascinated to observe how they grew and changed over me . They looked closely and the inside of seeds and bulbs , and discovered that they contain everything needed for germina on . Each class worked as a team to plan experiments to inves gate the condi ons that plants need to grow healthily .

We tested what plants need to germinate and grow healthily . I predicted that plants need light , water , air , sugar and nutri on . Oliver
