Planting the Rocket Seeds!

It was so exciting today, we planted some seeds which have been to space with Tim Peake!
We are part of a huge experiment to test whether seeds which have been to space will grow the same as seeds that have stayed on Earth- you may have seen it on the news. (You can read and watch about it here.)

We had some strict instructions to follow:

Everyone in Year 2 had the chance to plant at least one seed. We can't wait to see what happens!  When we were making our predictions, most of Walnut thought that there definitely would be a difference between the seeds which had been to space and the seeds which hadn't.  We have to watch them closely and fill in a special chart for the next 35 days.
