This term in science, Year 2 are becoming young gardeners. They have planted broad beans and are now keeping a bean diary to observe and record how their plants grow over time. The children have been learning about germination, including what seeds need in order to grow, and have been exploring the different stages of a plant's life cycle. They are developing their observation skills and beginning to understand how to care for living things.
