Year 5's Woodland Week

Year 5's Woodland Week

Woodlands Week was a great success in Year 5.  We were able to use the school's new microscopes to study leaves.  The children were fascinated when Mrs Anson found galls on leaves which will eventually hatch into wasps.  They also discovered some black spots (tar spots) on some of the sycamore leaves.  We now know that this is evidence of there being little pollution in the air surrounding our school!   Another favourite activity was our Woodlands Art; the children brought in some interesting stems, leaves and flower heads to creatre some beautiful artwork on the school field.
