Trees

Whew, the rain stayed away today! We actually had sunny blue skies.

Year 5 carried on helping with our tree project.  They did some absolutely amazing art using natural materials like mud, leaves and charcoal.  
We had a good chat about why trees are so important to our plant. They are key to life.

We talked a little about woodland management and how coppicing trees is vital.  Coppicing trees means cutting trees to a certain level to help the health of a woodland and the health of a tree.  This to stop them from growing too close together and stop certain types of diseases that affect trees.

After being so creative, a fire was made and hot chocolate drunk.  The children left the forest school area quite muddy - which to me is a sign of a good day outside :)

Have a lovely weekend!
