For science week, Year 5 were treated to a Zoom presentation from STEM point called Food = Plants. The talk involved a detailed discussion exploring the different input stages that are required to get food from the field to your plate, such as selecting seed, sowing them, getting them to survive, getting them to produce the product, and then harvesting and delivering that product. 

During the talk, the children learnt about the seven key variables needed to grow seeds effectively. Putting this into practice, they have been planting their own sunflower seeds in school. Hopefully, the children will be able to see some amazing results in the Summer Term. Watch this space!
