Plant a Seed

"To plant a seed is to believe in tomorrow".

During assembly this week we have been considering the idioms 'plant a seed' and 'seed an idea.

In both cases considering how a seed germinates and grows into something bigger.

Students were asked to reflect on people seeding an idea in their minds; these could be positive or negative thoughts and the power that each individual has to influence others.

We considered idea inception, the act of 'hacking' into someone's brain and planting an idea, that they eventually believe they had.

Year 7 and 8 then had a practical task of planting pots and pots of sunflower seeds, which each tutor group has to look after. Following germination and sprouting the sunflower seedlings will be looked after by our gardening tutor and her team. Eventually the plan is to plant them out around the school, for our community to enjoy.
