Sunflower Process

Intro

The majestic, tall sunflower wasn’t like that at first. It 

was small and tiny and grew into a beautiful plant. It takes its own time and will finally be what it is meant to be!!!

Paragraph 2     The seeds root and shoot germinating process

The elegant sunflower starts its process with a tiny seed. It looks like a teardrop and probably a droplet. It is hard and rough like concrete and rocks.  The sunflower seed is a dark and misty  black with plain, peachy coloured flecks and stripes. Then it starts to grow a small root that is also a peachy coloured. The root looks like a young girl’s blonde ponytail. It also looks like a sloppy, spiraling worm. Shortly after that, a small green shoot sprouts up and shows itself to mother nature.  It’s small and fragile and has been up in the daylight for a short amount of time.

Paragraph 3       The growth and spread of the root, stem and leaves

After this stage a stem will start to grow. It will grow taller and taller.  It also starts to develop light green leaves that are also fragile. It gains more and more leaves every single day.  As the leaves grow, the root will also grow, stabilizing the plant into the soil. This is because if the roots didn’t stabilize the plant it would blow away into the sky. 

Paragraph 4  The head blooming and fully growing

As the sunflower grows taller and prouder a bud or a head will grow. In the heads early stage it is light grassy green.  But It doesn’t stay like this forever, the head turns into a bright flower with silky, yellow petals.

The petals spread out so that the sun can see them. 

Paragraph 5 The seeds development and dying process

In the inner circle of the flower there are an array of seeds that turn black like the night sky.  Once the flower has been pollinated by bees, the seeds will start to fall or will get blown away and spread out into the surroundings. Lastly, at the end of its long  process, the sunflower withers and dies. It collapses and falls into the ground. However more sunflowers will grow and will follow this process. 

Conclusion

The sunflower has lived a long 120 days. It started as a tiny, baby seed and has developed so quickly into an exquisite flower. 

Grandparents Day

This week we had to read a book called Grandparents Day. For Extended Abstract  I did an acrostic poem about the book. Hope you enjoy it!!!

Gran and Pop are coming to Isla’s special day.

Rabbits, pets of Isla’s, like to eat their rabbit pellets.

As Gran is rushed and stressed about making it to GrandparentsDay at Isla’s school, Pop is just relaxed. 

No one is sharing food at the picnic on the school field.

Does Isla like Grandparents day? Of course!

Pop says” Don’t panic” when Gran is rushing around getting flustered. 

At the bakery there are only cheese muffins, not the blueberry ones that they wanted.

Really yummy food is eaten. 

Everyone seems to have their grandparents there, the school is packed.

Nelson is where Granny and Pop are from. 

The muffins were burned thanks to Pop, he forgot to keep an eye on them when they were in the oven!

“Swimming” said Pop ”That's what we should do.”

“Do you think we can go now? Gran whispers.

As they were ready to leave, pop smiled sheepishly.  He had lost the keys.

You’d think that Pop would be a bit more organised.  Now they had to walk home as they couldn’t get into the house truck.
