On Thursday I went to the woods with my school to learn all about trees and shrubs.
When we got there we found some trees which were broken so we made it the base camp. When Mrs. Lennie gave three short blasts of her whistle, it meant everyone had to return back to base. Mrs. Sneddon had the inhalers in a bag and if needed Mrs. Lennie would give one long blast of her whistle.
We sat on the logs and talked about trees and shrubs and what we already knew about them. We learned about what makes a tree a tree. A tree needs a single trunk that needs to be 30cm fat. Branches will come out at least 30cm from the ground. There are two types of trees, one with leaves and then needly trees. The ones with leaves are called deciduous and the needly ones are coniferous. Our woods mostly have coniferous.
Then we went to get six different leaves in the woods. We found sycamore leaves. It took us thirty five minutes to get back to school. My favourite part was Mrs. Lennie talking to the tree.
