Reception have been looking at the topic of 'Growing and Changing', enjoying 'Jasper's Beanstalk' and 'Jack and the Beanstalk'. After reading 'Jasper's Beanstalk' we were able to work out how best to plant our seeds, nurture them and hopefully grow some tall beanstalks!
We have discussed what a seed needs to grow, and we decided that a mixture of sunlight, respiration and water would help our beanstalks grow so we decided to plant ours by the window where they would get best access to all these things!
We found our beans, we planted it, we watered it and we have been checking on our beanstalks everyday to see how much they are growing.
First we saw the beans burst open, next we saw the roots spread through the soil and then we saw our shoots and leaves start growing up. Everyday we use a pipette to water our beans to ensure that they don't over-water them.
We have been comparing our beanstalks everyday, commenting on our observations and seeing whose are growing the fastest!
We are looking forward to planting our beanstalks outdoors and seeing how tall they can grow when they have direct access to sunlight!
