Key Stage 2 (Years 3 to 6)

​

WILDFLOWERS​

 

 

Children use hands-on classroom-based activities as well as field observations to learn about plants and flowers, including how plants grow and reproduce. The wonderful variety of wildflowers at the Cemetery Park enables the pupils to see most stages of the plant life cycle first hand, as they encounter plants, flowers, fruits and seeds.
