Science
Our science topic this term is plants. We will be learning about the different parts of their flower and the jobs that they do. Then we will learn all about the different stages of the life-cycle of a plant, including germination, pollination and seed dispersal.

D.T
We will be using mechanisms to create our own pop-up books and designing, making and evaluating our own packaged cereal bars.
