Posted on: 11/07/2019Watching Growing Beans and PeasMs Rashid's Year 9 classes have been planting peas and runner beans in glassware to observe how seeds germinate and grow into small plants.

Peas: Runner Beans: Our full collection: We will soon be planting them in the ground in the garden area outside the art block so that, if we're lucky, we have peas and runner beans by September!
