Year 1 @ Brookburn

Hello, we’ve been extremely busy this week so far… & it’s only day 2!
Our new topic is called ‘How does your garden grow?’ so we have been experimenting with food colouring and white flowers to see how water is absorbed up their stem- we predicted that the red food colouring and blue water colouring would change the flower petals red and blue… we have tested our predictions and will observe carefully- findings to follow! Lots of children have brought in their sunflower pots and we have growth! Up to 10cm in some cases! The competition to find the tallest sunflower continues…! We also enjoyed sowing the seeds of butternut squash, courgette, and a winter squash called Turk’s turban, which we found out were all from the cucumber family! We hope to plant out very soon and care for them over half term. Tomorrow we we look forward to another virtual sports competition where we are competing against our personal best, other class teams, across the school, and even other local schools taking part! Last of all, we very much miss Fiona from our class and we hope she and her sister Katherine get well very soon. They have chicken pox
Blog happy! Year 1.
