Year 3 had a fantastic day at Skelton Grange Environment Centre. In small groups, the children were participated in a range of activities such as: sketching and labelling parts of plants, embarking on a plant treasure hunt through the allotments and fields, investigating how seeds spread through wind, water and animals and dissecting a flower to explore the parts of it: petals, stamens stigma, sepal, ovary and their roles in pollination. These activities gave the children more information about plants, which is our topic for the summer term.
