Today in Forest School our P4s completed some Tree Maths. In groups, they measured the circumference of trees. Every 2 cm is approximately equivalent to 1 year of life, so we were able to work out that a lot of the trees were planted in and around 1933, when the school was built (We also worked out the age of the very large tree....it's a lot older!)
Using a small stick, the P4s were also able to work out an approximate height of the tree.
Even though it was a really cold day, the P4s enjoyed getting outside again!
