Planting Spring bulbs

26th Sep 2023

We have been learning in P3 about how to keep healthy- not just in ourselves, but how we keep other things healthy too. We learned about how to plant bulbs properly in the autumn to get them to grow for the springtime. They need to be cold and dark for a long time, then they need to be heated up to activate the growing that they need to do. This happens over the winter and then when the weather gets warmer in the spring the bulbs know it’s time to start growing. 

we had to be careful not to plant the bulbs upside down!!!
