Hi Year 3,
For your homework this week I’d like you to have a go at answering these questions:
1) What plants have you eaten today?
2) Which plants were raw?
3) Which plants were cooked or processed?
4) Do you have some clothes at home that are made of plants and can you write a list? Remember that you can find this out by looking in the labels of your clothes.
5) Do you have something that is 100% cotton? What is it?
Extra homework! PLEASE DO THIS WITH A GROWN-UP
Can you find out a little bit about plants and medicine? Is there any medicine that you have at home that has a plant in it?

Creams, and Cold and nasal

garden. The leaves can be used for
tea, salads, and as an herb in foods.
