Totties and ‘TottyCam’

This week we are also starting to grow our own potatoes as part of a national ‘Grow Your Own Potatoes’ initiative.

We will be putting seed potatoes into empty egg boxes and sitting them on a window ledge for a few weeks. This is called ‘chitting’ and allows the sprouts to harden.

There will also be a Potato Cam at http://potatoesforschools.org.uk/ where you can see how the ‘experts’ are getting on.

If anyone else is taking part in ‘Grow Your Own Potatoes’ we’d love to hear how you are getting on.

Does anyone grow their own vegetables at home?

The Garden Centre

The Garden Centre is our new topic.

P6 helped us to plant Nasturtium seeds. We cannot wait for them to grow.

We did a science experiment on the Internet to find out a bit more about what plants need to grow. We found out that plants need water, heat and light to grow.

Why don’t you try it yourself? Click here for the experiment.

Did you know that you can eat Nasturtium leaves and flowers in salads?
Are there any other flowers that you can eat?
