Summer Term 1 Enquiry Question - How do things grow?
Overview
Our new project enquiry question for the first part of the summer term is ‘How do things grow?’ We will learn about the things that are changing and growing around us such as flowers, plants and animals and explore some simple life cycles. We will find out what plants need to grow and survive. We will have a go at growing our own sunflowers and beans. Our key texts this half term will include Growing Good, Jack and the Beanstalk, Billy’s Sunflower and Growing Frogs.
