Forest School in Year 5/6 - 26.06.15

Date: 26th Jun 2015 @ 4:45pm

Today we did maths in Forest School!  Our lesson was all related to trees!

There were 6 activities to choose from.  One of the most popular was working out the age of a tree by calcualting its girth (using string) and then dividing this number by 2.5.  We found that the oldest tree in the area was 153 years old!  We also had a leaf hunt activity and discuvered that there are also chestnut trees and rowan trees in our area.  Another task was to carry out a tree census to find out how many of each tree there is in Forest School.  And another activity was working out the number of leaves on a tree by multiplying the number on a twig, by the under of twigs on a branch, by the number of branches on a tree!

We had a great time and learnt alot.
