As part of our topic called Scented Gardens, we have been studying the artist Vincent Van Gogh. The children have learned to compare what life was like when he was alive, in contrast to now. They have made some beautiful sunflowers to put on display in the classroom.

In Science we are growing sunflowers with a view to gaining a better understanding of what plants need to be strong and healthy. We also have a mini greenhouse to keep outside of our classroom, so that we can conduct our science observations on a regular basis. Who knows what else we might be tempted to grow?

The children are really enjoying exploring plants using all of their senses.
