Here is Layla’s fantastic home learning. Layla has produced a superb habitat and food chain model, which included a variety of animals. Here she is showing off her work to the rest of Class 11!

Today, Class 11 have been creating their own anchor charts to help them understand how seeds are dispersed, the variety of ways this happens and why this happens. We worked well collaboratively so that we could really get smart in this part of our Expedition!

Yesterday, Class 11 were able to see how water was transported through the celery, after a full weekend drinking the food coloured water. It didn’t go as we expected however we did see some effects of how water travels through plants. We wondered if there was too much water, not enough sunlight or whether the celery needed more time to transport the food colouring?

Class 11 have been looking at how water is transported through plants. We learned that plants have a special method, called xylem, which pushes the water up through the stem. We then learned about transpiration, which means that water evaporates and is recycled into the soil, to be used again. We used some fantastic vocabulary in our predictions. We’re testing how water transports through celery, with food colouring to show this. We think that the celery should turn red, because the water should travel up through the celery. Class 11 are excited to see how this looks on Monday!
