FS2: Growing Cress!

Back to News
9th May 2025

We have been learning that plants need soil, water, sunlight and space to grow. However we read instructions on how to make a 'cress head' and we found out that cress can actually grow in cotton wool too! We followed the instructions - making sure we went one step at a time. In less than a week our cress had grown and we each had our own cress head with lots of cress hair!
