On Thursday 25th of August I went to Skinflats Woods with my school. We went there to discover about the wildlife.

The first thing we did was establish some rules. When Mrs. Lennie blew the whistle, we had to go back to base. If she blew the whistle three times that meant we had to go back to base. If she blew the whistle one time that meant inhalers were needed
We sat down and started to talk about what makes a tree. A tree is something that has a single, tall trunk. Branches don’t begin until thirty cm high. A trees girth is at least thirty cm when it has grown up.
There are different trees in our wood. There are deciduous trees and coniferous. A deciduous tree is a tree that has flat, green leaves that fall off in Autumn. A coniferous tree is a needly tree with cones. We mostly have coniferous trees in our wood. Mrs. Lennie gave us leaf ID envelopes. We got asked to go and find different kind of leaves.
In Winter the trees are bare. In Spring, trees blossom and buds come out. In Summer trees are covered in leaves. In Autumn leaves change colour and fall off. It took us twenty five minutes to get back to school because we were tired. The part I enjoyed most was when me and James found a big tree had fallen down and it was really big and the roots were very big.
