Today in Reception, we learnt about being a crop scientist! Mary's mum came in to talk to us about her job as a crop scientist and what it involves.
The children learnt all about what plants need to grow, and what might stop a crop like wheat from growing well. Sometimes plants don't grow very well and it's up to people like Mary's mum to act as problem solvers and experiment with different ways to grow crops.
Did you know, in a wheat field the size of our classroom, there would be enough wheat to make flour for 103 loaves of bread? That's why it is so important for crop scientists to find out what makes crops healthy... so farmers can produce more food!
The children listened very carefully and demonstrated some excellent estimation skills!
