We visited Scotswood Community Garden in Newcastle to investigate how plants reproduce. First, we learned about the parts of the flower which are important for pollination and reproduction. Our challenge was to use natural objects to recreate the parts of the flower and label our model.

Next, we became pollen hunters, visiting the bee hives and learning about the importance of bees and why to protect them.

After lunch, our main activity was to make pots out of newspaper and then planting seeds which would eventually encourage bees to our gardens to help plants reproduce. We also made natural potions, explored the gardens finding interesting insects and made dens using sticks and leaves. Overall, a fantastic day learning about plant reproduction.
