Plants
Pupils should be taught to:
• identify and name a variety of common wild and garden plants, including deciduous and evergreen trees;
• describe the basic structure of a variety of common flowering plants, including trees.
Y1 Common Plants
Resource Details
Pupils learn to identify a range of common plants. They sort these plants into two groups, 'Garden' and 'Wild' flowers. Pupils extend their knowledge of plants by further sorting parts of plants into 'flowers', 'seeds' and fruits. A cut and paste activity.
Learning Objectives:
- PoS - identify and name a variety of common wild and garden plants, including deciduous and evergreen trees
- WS - Pupils should become familiar with common names of flowers, examples of deciduous and evergreen trees, and plant structures (including leaves, flowers (blossom), petals, fruit, roots, bulb, seed, trunk, branches, stem).
Y1 The Structure of a Plant
Resource Details
Children label the main parts of a flowering plant. They plant seeds and record observations of seed growth.
View ResourceLearning Objectives:
- PoS - identify and describe the basic structure of a variety of common flowering plants, including roots, stem/trunk, leaves and flowers
- NaG - where possible, pupils should observe the growth of flowers and vegetables that they have planted
- WS - pupils should observe closely, perhaps using magnifying glasses; draw diagrams showing the parts of different plants; compare and contrast how different plants change over time
Y1 Plants Have Roots
Resource Details
Children identify the roots on pictures of common plants; they then sort them into two groups based on their own sorting criteria
View ResourceLearning Objectives:
- PoS - identify and name a variety of common plants; identify and describe the basic structure of a variety of common flowering plants, including roots, stem/trunk, leaves and flowers
- NaG - pupils should become familiar with common names of flowers
- WS - identifying and classifying
Y1 Identifying Common Plants
Learning Objectives:
- PoS - identify and name a variety of common plants, including garden plants, wild plants and trees
- NaG - pupils should use the local environment throughout the year to explore and answer questions about plants growing in their habitat
- WS - pupils should observe closely, perhaps using magnifying glasses, and compare and contrast familiar plants
Y1 Identifying and Naming Common Plants
Resource Details
Children walk around the school grounds or local park, to draw and identify common plants.

Y1 Comparing Plant Roots
Learning Objectives:
