Roots!

In Upper Prep 1, the children have been out into the school grounds to complete some weeding.  

We are currently thinking about the structure and function of roots in our IPC unit, Roots, Shoots and Fruits and looking at weed roots has provided some excellent examples.

The children have now begun some observational drawings to take a closer look at the root system.

We also took the opportunity to plant 2 small trees which we are looking forward to watching grow over the next few years.
