Do plants need leaves to grow?

Two weeks ago we took the leaves off one plant and left them on the other. We did not change any of the other conditions the plants were in.
Here is what they looked like two weeks later. Why DO plants need leaves to grow well?

Well done!

Well done Year 3 and Year 4 for your fantastic presentation of 'Too Busy For Christmas' this evening. Your acting, percussion and singing was wonderful!!!

We will be finding out about the word Messiah.

What does Messiah mean?

Jesus is the Messiah,

i.e.

the Prophet and the Priest and the King.

The words Messiah  and Christ have the same meaning. Their original-language forms are ha-Mashiyach (Hebrew) and ho Christos (Greek), both meaning “the Anointed one”.

What other names do we call Jesus Christ?

We will also listen to a piece of Music called Handel's Messiah. How does it make you feel?
