Good Afternoon Parents,
Today in class we we solved the mystery, ‘Why do plants grow fruit?’ We saw how fruit is a tasty container for seeds, and how all fruits are simply one part of a flower (the ovary).
You can help support this week’s learning by involving your child when cutting vegetables or fruits. Ask them, “What should I look for, to know if what I’m cutting was once part of the flower?” (Answer: Look for seeds!)
If your child missed out on our science activity, please make them watch the Mystery Science video below. This will help them with their upcoming science quiz.
