Seeds, seeds, seeds!

In autumn many plants are making seeds.This week we have been discovering all the ways that plants disperse their seeds. Olivia found three different ways - well done! Everyone was given a sycamore seed and we dropped them from the adventure playground. They spun perfectly carrying the little seed away with the wind. What a perfect design! In the classroom we cut out a helicopter shape. We took them to the adventure playground and dropped them too. Oh dear, oh dear! We had to add more paper clips, fold them more carefully, throw them in different ways.... the design was not nearly as good as the sycamore seed!
