Beech Class Forest School

Forest School was packed with exploring and finding things that made us go wow. We found stones the same size as our finger nail, eggs on leaves among others. We worked out the ages of some trees on the site, went on scavenger hunts and did some balancing too. Year 1 worked out that the thicker a tree trunk is the older the tree is. Looking forward to more discoveries next week.
