The parts of a plant and their jobs!!

We have been learning all about the different parts of plants this week and discussing what we think the job is of each part, and trying to write sentences to describe each job... Can you rememeber the main parts that are labelled on this flower?

What two main jobs do the roots have?

Why does the flower look so pretty?

See if you can think of a sentence to describe each part!!

Our Garden Centre Role Play Area!!

To link to our growing topic, we have transformed our role play area into a very exciting garden centre! We have been exploring seeds, gardening tools and practising paying for different items. So far it's been very popular and lots of fun!! Here a few pics of us in action...
