On Monday the Biggies spent a morning in Dow’s wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We looked around for autumn colours, measured the ages of some oak and beech trees, kept our eyes peeled for plants and creatures we could put in a food chain. We also had time for quiet writing and drawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We saw an owl<\/strong> going through the trees, found spider web galore and walked a couple of miles. We covered some maths, literacy, our IDL topic about Food Webs and more. Lots of learning & fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pupil thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

I enjoyed everything and I don\u2019t have a favourite because I found everything very enjoyable. I had a lovely trip to Dow\u2019s wood that day and I would love to go again.
I learned about the size of an oak and another tree that I forgot its name.
I drew, wrote, had my snack and a lot more.<\/p>\nGene<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

I liked most of the stuff that we did, the measuring trees were a bit hard though. It was hard because we had not tall people (we were all small) We had a small paper notebook with us and we did activities in it like we made a colour list, we measured trees as you know, we wrote on blank pieces of paper you could do, a story, a poem, a picture poem. All that sort of stuff we also drew. We also had to find 3 interesting and cool leaves.<\/p>\nChloe<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Autumn Colours<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n

I learned how different trees spread their seeds. For example a Hawthorn tree spreads its seeds through animals eating them.
I enjoyed walking where the old train track used to be because there was a really good view of trees and there was so many colours.
We did some measuring of trees, writing and some art work of things we could see.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

I really loved it because I enjoyed how we did our colour list and we measured the trees. We collected 3 leaves and we stopped for snack time. We sat in a quiet space and we wrote and drew. Then we went back to school just in time for lunch.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

We walked talked and sat on rocks.
We also wrote and did more walking and drew.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
