# Year 1 Potato Project!

Year 1 are growing potatoes!

We are taking part in the yearly competition 'Grow your own potatoes'.

Here are some of our questions 'How do potatoes grow?' 'What can you make out of potatoes?' 'Where do they come from?'

We had to chit the potatoes first by placing them in a box in the sunlight to get them ready for planting. Then we planted them in bags of soil outside.

We are going to keep a potato diary and observe them each week to watch how they grow.

Keep your eyes peeled for more updates over the next few weeks...
