Green Thumbs in Year 2!

Our Year 2 budding scientists have been deeply immersed in their "Plants" topic this term, culminating in an exciting hands-on gardening session outside. In the classroom, the children developed a strong foundation of scientific knowledge, learning to identify the primary parts of a plant—including the roots, stem, leaves, and flowers—and discovering the vital functions each part performs. They also explored the essential requirements for plant growth, investigating how survival depends on the right balance of water, light, and a suitable temperature.

To bring this science learning to life, the children took to the school's outdoor raised beds to plant their very own fruit, vegetable, and herb garden. We cannot wait to watch our young gardeners care for their plants and see their scientific predictions come to life over the coming weeks!
