Assembly Awards



Congratulations to Flora Browne, Jack Grant, and Lui Su on their achievement in LZ16.



What does a plant need to grow?

In LZ16 we are trying to find out what plants need to grow? We have set up a fair test - where we have planted seeds in water, seeds in only soil, seeds in cupboards and one plant in a normal growing condition. We are measuring the plants once a week. This is what they look like so far. We will keep you posted regarding their progress.

Today we planted some coriander.
We put some soil in a pot plant. Mrs Lal sprinkled the cariander seeds on the soil.
After that we covered the seeds with some soil. At last we added some water.
