Forest School
n The addition of Forest School to our curriculum has proved to be a huge success over the past 12 months. Under the expert guidance of Mrs Greenaway, the boys in Year 3 have, in particular, benefitted from these sessions.
Some of their learning highlights include:
• Finding out a clever way to calculate the age of a tree and also its height (without having to climb it!)
• Taking bark and leaf rubbings of various trees
• Viewing plants using a UV torch and discovering how bees pollinate flowers, and then learning about the wonderful waggle dance acted out by these magical creatures • Dissecting tulips - finding the stamen (anther and filament) and pistil (stigma, style and ovary)
