From Tiny Seeds to Tasty Treats: Our Growing Adventure Assembly

A fun and engaging Key Stage 1 assembly all about plants, seeds, growing and the different plant parts we eat. This assembly takes children on a simple growing adventure, helping them understand how a tiny seed becomes a healthy plant.

Children learn what seeds need to grow, including water, light and warmth, before exploring how roots grow down into the soil and shoots reach up towards the sunlight.
