Learning Objective: Name and identify different trees.

When you go on your daily walk today, have a look at different types of trees. take your red books with you and draw the different trees all on one page.

What do you notice about the trees?

How do you know they are different?

Are there any trees that have some things that are different and some things that are the same.

Look at the colours of the trunks and their leaves. The shape of the leaves on a tree help us to know what the tree is called.

Have a look below:

Did you see any of those trees on your journey?

Some trees don’t loose their leaves in the autumn. Some trees are green all year round. These are called evergreen trees. The trees that loose their leaves are called deciduous trees.

Did you see some evergreen trees on your journey?

What do the deciduous trees look like in this season? It is spring at the moment.

As you are learning about plants, I thought you might like to watch Mrs O’Brien’s new video. The KS2 children were given sunflowers to grow and KS1 children were given cress seeds to grow.

Tell me three things you have learnt about sunflowers from Mrs O’Brien’s video. In the first chapter she talks about the different parts of plants and why they are important.

How are your cress seeds getting on? Remember to take lots of pictures and record what is happening in your Cress Diaries.
