Flying Start @ Redruth Explore Sunflowers

Today the pre-school children have been investigating our garden! Using the magnifying glasses, we have been on shape hunts as well as looking for minibeasts and different plants.

The children noticed that our giant sunflower had lost all of its petals and were curious about what had happened. We cut the sunflower head and took it into our outdoor classroom to investigate! The children learnt about the life cycle of a sunflower, and we had a go at collecting all the sunflower seeds.

We’re going to save the seeds and plant some more next year!
