Tree-rrific!

The children have been working hard in science learning about the difference between evergreen and deciduous trees.  We have carried out a survey of some of the trees in our school grounds, and learnt how to record our findings in a tally chart.  Today, we started to think about the different parts of a tree, and what job each part does.  We explored the year one garden and identified 5 out of 6 things we were looking for...the only thing we couldn't find was any blossom.  Perhaps you could ask the children why we couldn't find it - they gave me a great explanation!

Identifying roots.

Finding leaves.

Locating the trunk.

Spotting branches.

Finding fruit.
