<strong>Year</strong> 3: Survival<br />
<strong>Week</strong> 4:<br />
National Tree <strong>Week</strong>
NATIONAL TREE WEEK (24 th November – 2 nd December) is the UK's largest annual<br />
tree celebration, marking the start of the winter tree planting season<br />
(November to March each year). The Tree Council, one of the UK’s leading<br />
charities for trees, first established National Tree <strong>Week</strong> in March 1975<br />
The children carried the<br />
Beech trees to the <strong>Forest</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong> site.<br />
We started planting.
It was pouring with rain and cold,<br />
perfect weather to plant trees.<br />
While the children took it in turn to<br />
plant the trees Mrs Lowman kept<br />
everyone moving to keep them warm.
We had a<br />
warm drink<br />
and a snack.
Dr Collins cooked popcorn.
When we dug up the soil we found treasures.<br />
We found lots of worms and<br />
talked about how they<br />
benefit us.<br />
Worms aerate the soil. We<br />
spotted tunnels made by the<br />
worms.<br />
We found an amazing beastie. Six<br />
legs meant that it was an insect. It<br />
was the larval form of a ground<br />
beetle. Next spring it would look like<br />
this.
The children said that they<br />
would come back in 50<br />
years to visit the trees and<br />
see Mrs Wall.
