In science we are looking at plants. We will first learn how to recognise a plant and use scientific vocabulary to describe parts of a plant. the children will begin to understand how plants grow from seeds and bulbs. We will plant potatoes , lettuce and sunflowers and watching them, while considering what is needed for growth.

In DT we are talking about what a balanced diet looks like. We will look at the contents of different foods including how much sugar they contain. The children will design and make a healthy wrap.
