Today we investigated what trees there are within our school grounds.

Using a Leaf idial we looked at the different characters of leaves and how they help us identify what tree they come from. We then explored the school grounds and found we could name a number of trees growing there, including within the hedges.

You can download your very own leaf identification dial, along with lots of other great activities, at http://www.naturedetectives.org.uk/ .

Here are some of the trees we identified using our idial.
