Lots of Numracy today. A few weeks ago, during a walk in Callander Park, the boys were curious about a huge tree that had fallen down in the storms before Xmas.  They could believe how big the trunk was. So some learning about Tree Height Measuring (without leaving the ground), girth, diameter and ratios was used.  Mrs H adapted a Forrest Education Initiative worksheet to allow learners to access those numeracy skills. The weather was very wet and showery, it didn’t seem to bother the class.
