Life Cycle Of A Plant Mobile

Life Cycle Of A Plant.
We watched the video clip on BBC bitesize on the life cycle of a plant.

Then on white card cut into circles, we drew the 6 stages of the life cycle of the plant.


  1. The seed starts to grow shoots and roots in the ground. 
  2. The seed germinates and the shoot grows and appears above ground. 
  3. The seedling produces leaves which absorb sunlight in a process called photosynthesis. 
  4. The flower head grows, makes pollen and attracts bees, this is called pollination. 
  5. The fertilisation of the flower takes place and tiny seeds are produced. 
  6. Seed dispersal takes place usually when the flower head dies off. Seeds can be dispersed by the wind, drop to the ground or moved by animals. 

The process then starts again with the new seeds, the life cycle begins again.

We drew the pictures on the front of our cards and wrote what happened on the back. We hole punched the card and threaded ribbon through the hole so we could tie the circles to a wire coat hanger. I bent the coat hanger into a circular shape!

We decided to do ours about football, but you could do it about any topic your child is interested in. One day we wrote down lots of words associated with football. Second day we wrote the poem. It was a joint effort. Third day we typed up the poem. We would love to see your poems so please share any you do.

We decided to make some painted paper.  Paint sheets of paper using the left over paint.  Once the painted paper is dry you can save the coloured paper and use it for other art projects and card making. We always make our own cards do we can cut out numbers, letters or objects to make personalised cards.
