Grow, Thrive and Survive

During this project, children learn how plants grow from seeds and bulbs. They observe plant growth firsthand, recording changes over time and identifying what plants need to grow and stay healthy. Through practical investigation and careful observation, children develop a secure understanding of the conditions that support plant growth.

Built around a research-informed pedagogy

All our curriculum projects are built around our renowned four-stage pedagogy: Engage, Develop, Innovate and Express. It provides a dynamic, child-centred learning journey that sparks curiosity and builds deep understanding. It begins by engaging children with memorable experiences that ignite interest and ends with them expressing their understanding by sharing outcomes with real audiences.
