In science this half term, we have been learning about growing plants. We planted some sunflower seeds in a cup. After they had germinated, we took them home to plant in a bigger pot or a garden.
In art, we learnt about Vincent Van Gogh and looked at some of his sunflower paintings.
We were so inspired by them that we decided to make our own sunflower pictures.
In literacy, we used adjectives to write about sunflowers. Here are some examples:
‘The petals are as bright as the sun.’’ Gilbert
“The seeds are as dark as midnight.” Eleanor
“The leaves are green and shiny like emeralds.” Francesca and Quinn.
We are also quite excited about visiting Highgate Wood next week as we will be going on a guided plant and animal hunt.
We will let you know if we find anything interesting.
Well done Fitzgerld class! You are using adjectives very well in your writing. I am very proud of you all.
I’m looking forward to our class trip to Highgate Woods and I hope to see a centipede ! I have enjoyed growing my sunflower and Mr Greenhead.
I enjoyed growing Mr Greenhead his hair is grass.
My sunflower is more than 30cm tall. I think it is because we put it in a very nice light spot. It is so big now we used chopsticks to prop it up, and we had to move it to another bowl. It has 6 leaves
I planted cress seeds in a heart shape for my home work. They have germinated and Mummy has been taking photos every day!
I have enjoyed growing my cress seeds and I’m very excited to go on my school trip to Highgate Woods.
I enjoyed growing Mr Green Head. My sunflower is 21cm tall and I definitely loved writing my Mr Green Head book.
I loved growing my Mr Greenhead, I think it needs a haircut, the grass is very long! But my sunflower hasn’t grown at all 🙁
I am sorry to hear about your sunflower Connor. We have lots more seeds at school so maybe you can have another try next week.
I have enjoyed growing my Mr Greenhead and my sunflower . I hope it is going to be sunny at Highgate woods and I want to see a butterfly.
