Good Morning Hedgehogs 🙂
I hope you’ve had a lovely weekend! It was lovely to speak to some of you and your parents last week. It sounds like you’ve all been busy doing lots of fun activities at home, from gardening to learning to ride your bikes! I’ve had a visit from a chaffinch, it keeps tapping and flying into the window – I think it thinks it’s reflection is another chaffinch! It woke me up at 5am on Saturday morning!
It’s beak must be getting a bit sore! If you have any ideas on how to stop it, I’d love to hear them!!

See how much you can remember from the video and fill in this sheet about what plants need. What do plants need to survive?
If you want to do some extra work, see if you can make your own science experiment. Put one plant somewhere dark, one plant somewhere light and give them both the same amount of water and see which one grows better – which one do you think will survive?
Can you think of another experiment to test what plants need to survive?
