The purpose of plants and trees

This week we have been learning about the different parts of plants and trees and what their purposes are. We now know that a stem helps to hold up the plant as well as transporting water, food and minerals to different parts of the flower. We also found out that without roots a tree or plant wouldn't be able to stand tall. They also absorb lots of water and nutrients from the soil which will help the plant or tree grow. 

We are looking forward to heading out next week to the forest where we will be able to teach P2 about trees and plants and what the purpose of different parts are.
