Cress Seeds (Day 5)

After only five days our little cress seeds were ready to bring home!! 

                                      

The boys and girls compared their seeds, which grew very fast over the five days to our control, which had no water or sunshine to help it grow.

Our control - These seeds did not grow as they had no water or sunlight.

Our seeds- After just five days they were ready to bring home! They had lots of water and sunlight,

 The children in First Class are amazed at how quickly our little cress seeds are growing!!! 

Cress Seeds (Day 3)
