We went for a walk and learned the names of lots of  plants, like dock, clover, dandelion, daisy, hawthorn, rhododendron, nettle and daffodil.  We learned how to recognise them.

We have learned that a leaf is not just a leaf!  They all look different.  We learned  that some are called simple leaves (they have a very smooth edge), some compound (lots of leaves on one stalk), some serrated (have little teeth round the edge) and some lanceolate (look a bit like a lance).

We collected leaves from each group, we were careful not to damage plants.

In our groups we sorted the leaves according to the groups we had learned about and then as a group decided which one was the best example.

We stuck our leaves and labelled their type on the sheets of paper.

We went for a walk around the school grounds and learned how to tell if a blossom tree was cherry or apple.  We learned how to recognise a horse chestnut tree, a sycamore tree, a silver birch tree and a fir tree.
