Year 2 get planting

As part of our learning in English and science, we have been reading the story of The House Held Up by Trees by Ted Kooser. It is a beautiful book and as a result of reading it, we planted sweet pea seeds and a tree that will be part of our schools contribution to The Queen’s Canopy. We have been learning about different sentence types and we wrote command sentences to give clear instructions on how to plant seeds. Our handwriting has got better and better this term and we are very proud of it.

First of all, put on a pair of gloves.
Next, fill up a pot with soil.
Make three holes in the soil.
Put a sweet pea seed in each of the holes.
Cover up the seeds with soil and water the soil. The seeds will germinate early in the spring.
We planted a tree as part of the Queen’s Canopy initiative.

Despite so much illness in school, we are busy preparing for our Christmas play and we are looking forward to performing it to you on 14th December.
