Year 4 had an amazing day today at the woods, learning about deciduous and evergreen trees and being able to link traditional tales to the forest. The children were able to create stories and their imagination was inspired. We had stories ranging from a family of mice that have to take care of the trees to moles in waistcoats and glasses that have to care for the other animals.
In the afternoon, the children were challenged to find as many invertebrates as possible. This prompted several “ewwws” as children found millipedes, centipedes and the scariest of all invertebrates, the spider.
The children could not wait to get back to continue their tree week learning and were full of questions.
Katie had a great time in the woods.
