Earlier in the half term the children were set the challenge of growing the longest cress! Children returned to school with their plants today for the final measuring.

Here are the top 3 results –

1st Place – Max – 18cm

Joint 2nd Place – Louis and Grace – 17cm

3rd Place – Corey – 16cm

Congratulations to all the competitors and a special congratulations to Max for growing such a huge cress plant! In class we have written information leaflets about how to grow a plant!
