When we arrived back at school, after the holidays, we were really surprised to find a huge sunflower had grown outside our room. We watched the flower grow until finally it bloomed. It was as big as a dinner plate.
We watered the sunflower everyday - but eventually it went 'flop!' The birds came to eat the seeds. We could hear them chirping outside our classroom!
April - You wouldn't believe it! When we finally took the head off the sunflower - it was way bigger than a dinner plate. It was around 350 cm wide!
We will keep the seeds for next season and see what happens then!
We've loved watching our sunflowers grow at home too. What a huge sunflower! Hoon Hay School must have great soil.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly was an enormous sunflower. I hope the birds enjoyed their treat.
