‘Our focus this week was on recording observations- We went to a new area of the woods and will return each month in order to record the changes that happen each season. The record sheet asks the children ‘what has changed since last time?’ so I want the changes to be reasonably dramatic.
Each group also ‘adopted a tree’ and made notes about the colours of the leaves etc. They also collected 20 leaves which we took back to class. Tomorrow the children will measure the leaves and find the average length etc.
On our way out we used the ‘Nature Detective’ sheets to look at wild berries. There was a lot of interest in galls so I need to bring the relevant ID sheet next time too, I also need to read up on galls!
