This week we took part in a fun tree identification activity that will help us to learn about the trees in our woodland.

We started the session by having an envelope each to open. We took it in turns to open the envelope and look carefully at the leaf inside. We matched it to the same leaf on the identification chart.

We looked at the colour, shape and size and learned the tree names, Oak, Alder, Holly, Birch and Horse Chestnut.

After identifying the leaves and trees, we then used leaves to make our own unique artwork. We carefully painted the underside of the leaf and pressed it carefully onto the paper. We slowly peeled the leaf away and saw an imprint of the leaf’s pattern.
