You have written ones about chocolate this year (which were brilliant) so you'll do brilliantly. You can find the text at https://exceedlearning-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal/phoebe_stavish_hilltop_doncaster_sch_uk/EXWXZA4FJFxGlZJMRloogFwBauj6no8sYG9-NteynBozMw?e=Hu1rXc

Day five:

‘Mrs Khan was teaching us all about photosynthesis.’ (p22) 

Today's task is to write a non-chronological report on how to grow your own plant (something Miss  Stavish has been working on during this time). Things to consider when writing are:

•  Explore what a plant needs to survive (light, water, right temperature, room to grow, nutrients etc.). 
• What would be the impact of changing these? 
• What happens during the process of germination? 
• What is photosynthesis?

Challenge:

Can you use your non-chronological report to help you grow you own plant during this time.
