The importance of plants

Find out why all living things on Earth depend on plants

Living things in Year 2

After learning about Living things, the students of Year 2 have been working in groups on a small project. First they had to bring cut-outs from home. Then they had to identify photos of living things from non-living things photos. Later they had to glue these onto a card and write down their main characteristics. Finally they had to explain to the whole class their work. Do you want to see how they did? Have a look!

Are Year 4 looking after the plants?

The plants in Year 4 aren't growing very much. Do they have enough water? Do they have enough light? Some of them have too much water.

Bean and lentil plants in Year 4

The students of Year 4 have been studying about living things in science. We've seen how the life processes work in the animal kinddom, in the plant kingdom and in the fungi kingdom. We did an experiment to see how bean and lentil plants react to their environment. We planted some in soil and some in cotton wool. The lentils that Patricia Amo and Patricia Aramayo planted in cotton wool were the first to sprout shoots. They're growing really quickly. Next week we'll show you some more photos of all the plants.

We've added a Venus Fly Trap to our plant collection. Its leaves open and shut when small mosquitos come near. The students in Year 4 are responsible for opening the curtains in the morning to make sure the plants get lots of light. They also have to make sure the plants get enough water. But be careful not to give them too much water!!

The physical geography of Spain

Year 5 are studying the physical geography of Spain. These interactive maps are in Spanish, but they will help you to locate the mountains and rivers of Spain.

Year one and Humpty Dumpty

Drama class is fun! Year one have been singing and acting the classic nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty.


You can sing it at home with mum and dad if you like.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Could not put Humpty together again
