Sycamore Seeds

In the holidays Mrs Walker found some sycamore seeds near her Grandma's house and collected them up for us.

We observed them carefully and had lots of fun throwing them around on the top court. Some people wanted to get a better spin by throwing them from the slopping path up to the school gate and some people thought it would be a challenge to try to throw them through the basketball hoop on the top court.

We wrote some stories about our experience with sycamore seeds. Here are a few examples; you can read more on our published writing frames in the classroom.

I love the sycamore seeds. They helicopter down to the ground.

Sycamore Seed

I noticed the sycamore seeds are shaped like a fish when you put it down flat. The seed is bumpy. It was fun when it was going around. Then we wrote about the sycamore seed.
