Focus Week:

Science all around us!

This week, Year 6 will be investigating aspects of biology, physics and chemistry.

On Monday, we focused on biology by looking at plants. We delved into the process of plant reproduction and looked closer at the parts of a flower with tulip dissection. Can you name the parts of a tulip?
