What do plants need to grow?

Date: 20th May 2026 @ 11:42am

This week we have been focussing on 'What do plants need to grow?". We have spoken about plants often starting as seeds or bulbs and how they change over time. We have learned that they need the following to help them to grow successfully:

  • water
  • sunlight
  • air
  • space
  • soil 

Here is a video you can share at home to help your child to remember the key things plants need to help them to grow:

The children have produced some lovely drawings and writing linked to this focus. We are so impressed with their letter formation and use of phonics. Some of us have also chosen to draw different flowers - we have seen lots of lovely examples drawn by the children such as 'sunflowers' during continuous provision time.
