First of all the children revisited their science learning about evergreen and deciduous trees. They went outside to explore the trees on the school grounds and made friends with a tree by giving it a big hug! They children created bark and leaf rubbings and used these to create a big year group tree later in the week. We discussed the tallest tree in the world and measured the same distance outside, it took us all the way from Year 1 to the Year 6 classrooms at Juniors! Following our observations of nature the children wrote their own tree poems and presented them in the shape of a leaf. We finished the week by adding these poems to our year group tree which finished our collaborative art project perfectly.
