Seed Project

As part of our inquiry we have been exploring How messages can be relayed in different ways. The children have been creating a whole neighbourhood story which we are developing into a movie. The children have been writing imaginative and personal stories. 

We are also looking at in-cooperating stories about the natural world and our focus will be on growing seeds. Next term the children may wish to write a story about a seed. In the next three weeks the children will be involved in observing and documenting how seeds grow.

Through the 'Seed Project' we will be exploring:-

·         The nature of living things

·         Sequencing the life pattern of plants

·         Building and extending student science capacity by introducing new words.

We started by reading the story The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle.

 We asked the children to tell us:-  How plants grow? and What do they need to grow? Their responses can be found in our neighbourhood.

The children started the process of growing seeds in our neighbourhood.

We needed a dish, cotton wool, seeds and water to start the process.

The children documented their observations

We are also conducting controlled experiments.

Please come in and have a look at our seeds.
