Today's EL lesson on PLANTS

We had an interesting lesson today right? I am indeed proud of you and happy with your behaviour today as you have displayed great self-discipline and have explained to me what we have learnt today.

Wow, the 'Magic School Bus' VCD on Seeds was really educational. We have learnt other important terms associated with Plants... Do you remember these terms....

• Nectar - the sweet sticky liquid found in flowers
• Proboscis Tube - The tube which an insect uses to suck the nectar
• Anther - the long tube which sticks out of the flower which has the pollen
• Pollen - the microsopic grain needed for a seed to be formed
• Pollen Tube - the tube where the pollens travel to and settle at the bottom of the flower to meet the egg and form the seed

We have also learnt why insects are very important for a plant to reproduce and how seeds get to travel to other places to form new plants.

Just to inform you all these words will NOT be tested in your exams....so don't get tensed up. But I would love to share more knowledge with you. You will be learning about them in detail in upper primary....

So what do you think of today's lesson!! Send me your comments!!

As a bonus..here's something for you to watch to excite you. In the Magic School Bus, Ms Fritzle shrinks the kids right? In 1989(I was in Pri 6 then), there was actually a movie entitled "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids", where this wacky scientist invents a machine which could really shrink people. The kids in the movie become smaller than insects and have a wild adventure. I have attached the trailer....try to rent this movie and watch it if you can!!! They also have adventures in the garden and have close encounters with insects!
