We have been investigating life cycles of cress seeds. When we planted the seeds we used three control pots:
*one pot to keep in a dark place, one we did not give any water and one we gave too much water to.
After a week we have been able to have the discussions around why our three control did not grow. This generated a lot of discussion around not only what plants need to grow but what we need to grow.
Our writing this week has been based on our scientific experiment and we have created a recount of planting the seeds as well as posters to represent the growth cycle of the cress seeds.
We have also enjoyed or time outdoor learning this week. We looked at the life cycle of different bugs and animals and enjoyed using wooden disks to document these life cycles. We also had fun using magnifying glasses to see if we could find things.
While outside we took the opportunity to spend some time reading in nature. The class have really enjoyed reading outside.
In maths we have been working on times tables, next week we are going to try applying our knowledge of times tables to dividing. To help us we have made posters for our working wall to remind us of our times tables.
