We’ve started to look for differences between our seeds, carefully observing and capturing their individual characteristics through line drawing and monochrome studies. We’ve enlarged them using […]
We’ve been really busy since the last session with further research – sowing seeds, exploring germination processes, testing seeds in different conditions and learning some interesting plant facts. Our seeds are great. We move on now to the stems, focusing on our water and nutrient transporters and how they feed and nourish the leaves. We’re working with wet media, […]

We were keen to get started and make the most of our time as we began to look beyond the stems and focus in more closely on the heads and […]
Through the sessions, the children had the opportunity to use different materials and master textile and 3D modelling skills. They thoroughly enjoyed this, as did the teachers!
