Planting Sunflowers and Writing a Recount

Friday 04 April 2025

This week, Year One completed an amazing independent write all about their science learning! The children wrote a recount about planting their very own sunflower seeds and showed off what they’ve learned about the life cycle of a plant. They carefully planted their seeds and made thoughtful predictions about how much they would grow over the Easter break. They also explored what plants need to grow healthy and strong – like sunlight, water, and care.

We are so impressed with how fantastic their writing has become. The children are becoming much more independent and confident, especially when using verbs and adjectives to make their writing exciting and detailed.

I’m looking forward to investigating how much our sunflower seeds have grown over the Easter break and comparing this to our predictions!

What a fantastic end to the Spring term – thank you Year One!

Help at home idea: Encourage your child to keep a plant diary or describe what they see in the garden using adjectives and verbs!
