in year 1 this week we have been drawing different types of plants. one of the plants were daisies. we found that most of the colours we used were browns, greens, yellows and white. after we completed the colouring we labelled the plants with scientific words. we found this very interesting. the next day we started to plant our flowers in a group of five. we used soil and a plastic cup to do this. when we ahd finnished planting our flowers we gave the cup to mrs simons and she watered them for us as it was a bit difficult. in the afternoon we had a flower made out of felt on our table and we had to name all the different parts of it together. on thursday we went to the ict room. we went on a programme which showed us the different stages of planting a flower. we had a game on the computer which we had to water the flowers and see if they grew. some of us didnt use the water carefully and some of us did. we also moved the flower into the sunlight to see if it grew. today we had some numbers in digits and we had to write them in letters it was quite a challenge! this weeks been great!!! and full of work!!

in year 1 we have been starting to plant flowers!most of us chose a sunflower to grow there were many more flowers such as catgrass, marrow, baby marrow. these are the steps we planted our flowers in:
1. we put some soil in a cup.
2. we put our seed in the soil.
3. then we covered it up with more soil.
4. after that we poured water on it.
5. we put a lolly stick on the soil and wrote what flower we chose on it.
6. finnaly we put some of them in a cuboard and some in the sunlight to see which ones grow quicker. we had a really good time planting the flowers and hope to do it soon again!
