On Thursday afternoon the whole school including the new primary ones went back to Skinflats woods and we went a different route this time. We went a different route because we wanted to try how long it will take and to look for the horse chestnut tree.

When we arrived at the woods we got handed a passage called “What do Plants Need?” then we had to find a little den. James, Rhianne, me and Skye read our passage sheet. My group took turns each. We had to listen really carefully because we had to get asked questions at the end and to go back to the base. We learned about the process of photosynthesis. The trees need sunlight, water and carbon dioxide. The tree needs these ingredients also the leaves of the trees that are called chlorophyll. The tree makes its own sugar also it needs energy to make it grow. The chlorophyll does all the work to make the energy to keep the tree alive. The trees give out oxygen to us and we give out carbon dioxide to the trees.

The trees make oxygen for us and we give them carbon dioxide. Without trees we will die because there’s no oxygen.

When we got back to base we got a partner and there were ABC signs on  trees. I got the questions all right and none wrong. The little class went away back to school then we sat on the log again.

 My class started to go back as well. I had a stitch on the way back and we met up with the little class and we got in school in time.
