Grass seed experiment

  • Today we will start a grass seed experiment (The grass seed will be delivered with your new books Monday morning). You will need two plastic cups or plant pots or anything that you are happy for your child to grow their grass seed in, soil from outside or cotton wool and a tiny bit of water.
