Back in March a reception class visited the Playbarn where we looked at life on a farm and everyone took home a bean seed to grow. Here is one that has been making progress.
On 20th April it was 69 cm tall.

On the 9th of June it had reached 1 meter 50 cms. It has had flowers and is now growing pods There are plans to plant it outside so the pods can ripen and the new beans collected to show the life cycle of a plant.

This website is dedicated to Ken Walker who was my first head of science back in 1971 who set me on a journey writing educational materials by asking me to make a booklet for 250 children visiting a zoo. He often reminded me of this but more importantly he was my mentor back in those days, letting me set up brand new science laboratories and run field courses at the schools outdoor pursuits centre and his advice stayed with me as I progressed in my teaching career and into my writing career too. Thanks Ken.
