In Room 9, our Science lessons have been all about living things. As part of our unit, we are growing our very own cress plants. We have been learning about the basic needs of all living things—water, food, air and shelter. The class has really enjoyed observing their plants and recording their growth each week in their plant journals. We have also explored the world of mini beasts and discovered fascinating facts about silkworms. Did you know that silkworms aren’t actually worms? They are the larval stage of the silk moth!
