Year 3 Botanists

The children in Year 3 will be finding out all about "Flowering Plants" in their Science lessons this week.
It will be very useful if any of you can send in some "dug up weeds" from the garden on Friday morning. So that the whole plant, including the root system is present.
Dandelions, Herb Robert, Thistles, Buttercups etc.
We do not want to encourage the children to dig up wildflowers as this would be inappropriate of course, but if you can explain to them about the need to remove certain plants (that we call "weeds") from places where they are not wanted, then we feel that this would be an environmentally sensitive way for us to look at flowers like this in the classroom.
Many Thanks,
DM
