1e were very lucky to go to Forest School at Rushmere this week!
We wrapped up warm and headed for the woods. We learnt lots about trees, and played a game in partners where we took in turns to be blindfolded and had to feel the tree to describe it, was it smooth or rough? Did it have lots of branches? Was it thin or big?
We also learnt how to tell the age of a tree! We had a go at counting the rings inside the tree!
After warming up and having a snack in the visitor centre, we used the sticks we had collected to make different shapes. We were even challenged to make a pentagon!
Finally, we did a quiz. All the answers were numbers, for example how many legs does a spider have? We created a number line using all the numbers!
It was really fun learning outside in the woods!
