Earth Grass – Sirod dreams of having a soft green lawn to sit on, but the grass seeds she has must be faulty because, despite her best efforts, nothing grows.
Curriculum Link: Plants – how seeds grow into mature plants and the requirements that plants have to grow and stay healthy.
Earth Grass is an endearing and beautifully illustrated story for children aged 5-7 sets the scene for science investigations about seeds and plants.
The stories do not have satisfactory endings and the characters are left with a problem to solve. After doing some appropriate investigations in science lessons, children will be able to use their knowledge to write a happy ending to the story.
Included with this item is the 1 x paperback copy, 1 x PDF Download and the book comes with an extensive downloadable resource pack of teacher notes and lesson plans.
Why not take a look at the next book in the series A Friend For Howard: Howard is looking for a friend but none of his potential new companions is quite right.

| Pupils should be taught to: Observe and describe how seeds and bulbs grow into mature plants Find out and describe how plants need water, light and a suitable temperature to grow and stay healthy | I have helped to grow plants and can name their basic parts. I can talk about how they grow and what I need to do to look after them (SCN 0-03a) I can help to design experiments to find out what plants need in order to grow and develop. I can observe and record my findings and from what I have learned I can grow healthy plants in school (SCN 1-03a) |
