Plants - Senior Infants to First Class Resources and Lesson

Hi, here are some resources I've gathered for teaching this lesson. 

I hope it saves some teachers time searching for the same things.

I have gotten some PowerPoints for TES.co.uk  and some games from topmarks.co.uk and put them all together in one place.

1. I will begin with a KWL 

2. PowerPoint about what plants need to survive from Tes.co.uk very simple, below are just a few slides from the PowerPoint

2. Parts of a plant PowerPoint 

This PowerPoint is nice and simple and takes you through the parts of a plant and their functions also from TES.co.uk

link here:Parts of a plant & functions

3. Interactive activities

Help Sparky the Alien with activities on growing plants which include labelling parts of a plant, finding out what a seed needs to grow and the life cycle of plants.

4.  Activities based round the character Sparky the Alien on growing plants. Children can compare vegetables and fruits, label the parts of a tree, spell the parts of a plant and put life cycle pictures in order.
