Botany Trip

In class we are doing a botany project which means studying flowers and trees scientifically. As part of our Botany project we decided to go on a trip. On Monday (14th June) we went on a trip to the local woods down the road from the school. The purpose of our trip was learning about different plants and trees.

Different parents come along to help and share their knowledge on plants. Also they came because it’s a bit pressuring for Mr Deveruex to look after 25 children!

We learnt lots of new trees including:

beech

birch

hawthorn

sycamore

pine

We drew the leaves, seeds and trees on a piece of paper.

At the end, we all split up and had to find a tree that we had identified before and a new one either that we knew the name of or we could ask an adult if they knew. After about 5 minutes we all got back together and shared what we had found.

Soon we will be displaying the drawings in our class!
