Today Lorna brought with her some blindfolds, we get into pairs, popped on a blindfold and used our senses to explore the trees in this green space. 🌳

We used some helpful flow chart cards to help us to identify the trees in our green space. We had to look at the bark, leaves and branches to help us plot what type of tree we had on our hands 🍃 🍁

Lorna had hidden some interesting facts and quotes from John Muirs life around our green space. In pairs we had to work together to find and record as many facts as we could … we would not remove the sentences from the trees so it was a real test of memory and teamwork 🤔

To protect our wild place we learned about the fable of the Greenman who is responsible for protecting the trees. Lorna gave each of us some clay and we made a protector for our trees so they will be healthy and grow for many years to come.

Our clay idols protecting nature.

For our first session we walked the site and collected colourful bits and pieces. When we arrived in the woods we arranged them to make beautiful pieces of art.
