The children will now spend the next week observing their seed and interpreting and communicating what they see. Will they grow? Time will tell! ### Bean seeds [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/bean-seeds/IMG_6076.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/bean-seeds/IMG_6076.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/bean-seeds/IMG_6077.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/bean-seeds/IMG_6077.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/bean-seeds/IMG_6078.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/bean-seeds/IMG_6078.jpeg) [ Which signs of the seasons can we spot?](https://www.howard.staffs.sch.uk/blog/2024-02-02-12-23-23-which-signs-of-the-seasons-can-we-spot) [Improving our style ](https://www.howard.staffs.sch.uk/blog/2024-02-05-09-15-11-improving-our-style) ![The Howard Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/logo/Howard-footer-Logo.png) ### The Howard Primary School The Square Elford Tamworth B79 9DB 01827 383292 - [Term Dates](http://howard-primary-school.schudio.com/termdates) © Copyright 2019–2026 The Howard Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.howard.staffs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
