Science - Plants

We have started our Science unit which is about looking at history of plants in Christchurch and around Russley School.  Last week we went on a nature hunt around the school grounds spotting different trees.

Here are some of the plants we found around Russley School.

We discussed why plants and trees may have disappeared over the years.  We thought about animals eating leaves, people needing firewood and to build furniture, and that some areas needed to be cleared to make things like our school.


Today we drew the different leaves ourselves which we discovered on our Nature Walk.

Over the next few weeks we will look parts of plants and their functions and what they need to survive,
