This week in nursery, our pupils explored the wonderful world of plants! We learnt how plants grow from tiny seeds into big plants and even, giant trees. The children discovered the different parts of a plant, including the roots, stem, and leaves, and talked about how roots help plants grow by taking in water and nutrients from the soil.
The children then became little gardeners and planted their own cress seeds. They carefully followed the steps by placing cotton wool in a pot as soil, sprinkling the cress seeds on top, and adding some water.
Next, we placed the pots on the window sill so the seeds can get plenty of sunlight. The pupils shared their ideas and explained that plants need sunlight to grow, and without sunlight they would not be able to grow properly.
We are excited to watch our cress seeds grow over the next few days and observe the changes as our plants begin to sprout!
