Making Wild Flower Seed Bombs

As part of our preparation for our trip to the school farm we thought about how to protect our countryside.  We looked at wild flowers and learnt that they provide an important habitat for mini beasts such as bees and butterflies.  These insects are important to farms as they help to pollinate crops and provide large amounts of nectar sugar which is then made into honey. 

To make wild flower seed is really easy.  We mixed soil with some plain flour and added a little bit of water.  We mixed this together to make a dough that could be rolled into balls. Once we had a soil dough ball we then rolled the dough ball in wild flower seeds and then left to dry for a couple of days. 
We then took the balls outside and spread in the hedgerows of our school playground and fields.  Hopefully we will see some beautiful wild flowers growing in the spring. 

While we were waiting for our turn to make a seed bombs we used chalks to draw observational pictures of wild flower meadows and made flowers out of cubes.
