Now The Flowers Are Growing - a song about plants

“Now The Flowers Are Growing” is one of ten songs Donna has written on the theme of ‘Growing and Us’. Other titles are: “The ABC of Trees”, “How Tall Are You?”, “We Grew A Seed” and “Clean Your Teeth!” The flowers mentioned in the song are daffodils, tulips and daisies. We hope your pupils enjoy it! We’ve included .jpg images of each of the flowers to save you tracking them down. There are further images in the PowerPoint should you choose to use it.
