Little Wandle Love of Reading – Errol’s Garden (4)
Posted on July 11, 2024 | By soyarzabal
In order to connect to Errol’s Garden, Sunflowers visited the School’s polytunnel and raised flower and vegetable beds. Sunflowers enjoyed filling their containers to ‘water’ the plants like Errol. We watered the tomato plants, found courgettes, strawberries and raspberries. We also looked for insects enjoying the colourful flowers in the sun.

Today we started our colour experiments. First we had a skittle experiment. We placed skittles into a circle on a plate. We than added warm water and watched the colour come out of the skittles. We learnt that the skittles were made of coloured sugar and when dissolved melted. This gave us the rainbow effect.
