Mulberry's Class Tree

To continue the learning Year One have been doing about the four seasons, we decided to choose a class tree and watch it throughout the rest of the year to observe the changes that happen as the seasons change.

We went for a walk around the school grounds, and considered ourselves very lucky to have so many beautiful trees to choose from.

We noticed that even though it's Winter, some of the trees are still green and others have lost their leaves. James Wise noticed however that there were some brown leaves on an evergreen tree, and a group discussion afterwards led to a very interesting conversation about how plants are alive like we are alive.

We chose our favourite tree, collected some leaves and made some observations. We are looking forward to watching what changes happen to our tree in the Spring!
