How many daisies can you spot on this page? Write the number here
Can you find 10 differences between these two pictures?
Next time you are outside take your camera and take some close up pictures of the flowers, you might even see some butterflies!
Butterflies start their life as LEAF MUNCHING CATERPILLARS. After the caterpillar has shed it's skin a few times, it will form a protective layer called a CRYSALLIS (you might have heard of it being called a cocoon). Inside the crysallis, the caterpillar turns into a beautiful BUTTERFLY.

We all have different patterns, some of us have spots, some of us have patches and some have stripes. Give me some super spots and stripes, as I am feeling rather bare!

Colour in the sunflowers petals
Plant the seeds in SPRING
Tie it to a cane as it grows, so it doesn't fall over.
Plant sunflowers somewhere they will get LOTS of sun, by a wall or fence is best. Pull up all the WEEDS and DIG the soil with a fork to get rid of all the lumpy bumpy bits. PLANT the seeds about 1cm deep into the ground and about 60cm apart so they have room to grow. After you have sown the seeds give them a good WATERING. Shoots will appear after about a week!
You can buy s eeds from garden centres or s hops like Homebase and Robert Dyas.
st of e r e h t w Dra lower. this sunf et the g r o f t ' n Do eep it cane to k standing!
They will grow VERY fast so make sure you water them every day!
We LOVE sunflowers!
Sunflowers GROW 3-4 metres tall, so measure them every week! They will flower from July to September. How many bugs are on this page?

Get your plastic tray and FILL it up with compost. Drizzle some water over the top to make it nice and MOIST. Then scatter your seeds all over the surface. COVER the tray with paper until the seeds are 1 inch high.
Cress seeds Compost Plastic tray Water Paper
Making your own playdoh is fantabulous! It is really easy to make, and you don’t have to buy the really expensive stuff from craft shops. If you need more you can just keep making it!
RECYCLE Use an old tub for planting your cress in. This tub used to have mushrooms in it.
Cress is because you can grow it ALL year round, and you can do it on the windowsill!!
Cress is YUMMY in sandwiches and salads. Try it with tuna and sweetcorn or egg mayonnaise.
After a few days the seeds will start to look like this! Lots of lovely sprouting shoots! Make sure you keep adding water so it stays moist.
You could give your creations funky googly eyes
What is your fave sandwich?
In 1 -2 weeks the cress will be ready to eat! It should be about 2 inches high. So get making some scrummy sandwiches!
Put all your ingredients into a saucepan, and cook over a medium heat. Make sure you stir it all the time, until it goes stiff. When it is stiff, tip it onto the work surface and let it cool down. This is important as it will be very hot! Once it is cool, knead it until it is lovely and smooth. Now it is ready to use!
2 Cups of flour 1 Cup of salt 2 Teaspoons of Cream of Tartare 2 Cups of Water 1 Tablespoon of Vegetable oil A few drops of food colouring REMEMBER Make sure you ask an adult to help you before using the cooker!
