One of the topics we have had this term has been living things. Living things are things that have life. A plant is one of the things I know that have life because it grows. Some of the characteristics of living things are, that they have life, they reproduce and they respond to stimuli among others. During our class practical lessons, I planted a bean plant. I was able to get my materials myself like a tin, soil, water and beans too.
After planting in my tin I put small holes under it, I took it outside so that my plant gets sunlight so that the leaves do not change to yellow. I kept on checking on them every day and three days later, I developed a smile on my face because I saw the beans coming out. I kept on watering and observing them until it was harvesting time. I learnt that even if I don’t have space for planting crops, I can easily use the resources in the environment and be successful.
