Sunflower seed planting

Lesson: Understanding the World

Class: Nursery Year: 2025 - 2026

The Nursery children have been talking about seeds and what they need to help them to grow. We enjoyed the story, 'That's My Flower' and watched a short video about how to plant bulbs/seeds. Then, we saw a time-lapse video of the growth of a sunflower seed, before planting our own sunflower seeds in pots (remembering to add a lolly stick to measure the changes) We even found a very wriggly worm, which tickled our hands! Some children also weeded the planting tyre and topped it up with rich, new soil before planting the spare sunflower seeds. We hope we all have green fingers!
