What is the job of the stem and the root?

On Friday, we talked about the jobs of the stem and the root in green plants.

We planned and set up and experiement to find scientific evidence to prove this.

We put a stalk of celery (green plant) into water stained with red food colouring. We predicted that the celery will have turned red when we look at it after the weekend.

Photo Frames

The children in 3C have been working very hard all term on making their photo frames with Mrs Somers. In DT, they have spent time designing their frames and working out the best way to make a support so that the frames can stand up.

Here are the finished frames - pretty impressive!!
