St Stephen's have managed to get hold of some of the seeds that Major Tim Peake took up into space recently (thank you Mrs Stott). We're taking part in a nationwide experiment to see if space travel has an impact on how well the seeds grow. Every class will be responsible for checking on daily growth rates for their own batch of seeds and recording progress.The science experiment is currently underway in the polytunnel in the ECO Garden - why not pop in and check it out?
