We have been learning about the life cycle of plants as part of our Science topic. On Tuesday, we were looking at seed dispersal. We learned that there are lots of different ways in which a seed can disperse, including wind, water, animal and explosion!
We decided to mimic nature by copying the methods of seed dispersal. We made shakers with holes in like poppys; stuck seeds to feathers to mimic sycamore seed 'helicopters' and even put seeds into balloons, ready to explode! (which of course was the best bit!)
Even some of class five volunteered to be animals and stuck seeds to themselves, as though they had brushed past a plant and got seeds stuck to their fur! Finally, we decided to try out our inventions on the field.
Come and look at our pictures of the great fun we had!
