Y5L had a fantastic day at Scotswood Garden.

We started out by talking about the process of reproduction in plants:

Then we made a model flower using what we could find around the garden and labelled the parts:

Since we had talked about bees being pollinators, we became pollinators ourselves. We had sticky bees on our fingers which we used to collect pollen while exploring the garden. We got to see the vegetable patch, the pond, the flower garden and the beehives. There are around 300,000 bees in the hives at Scotswood Garden!

After lunch, we had a chance to do some activities around the garden:

Tree climbing

Making our own biodegradable pot and planting a sunflower

Potion making with herbs from the garden

Den building

Minibeast hunting

We had so much fun!
