In Science we will be learning all about plants. We will learn the names for their different parts and what jobs they have to help the plant grow. We will be growing our own sunflowers from a seed and observing the changes the plant goes through. By growing our own plants we will see that a plant needs soil, water and air to grow. We will also be learning the names of a variety of garden and wild plants.
