Today in the forest we have been learning and exploring different types of leaves.  We found leaves that are wavy edged, toothed edge and smooth edge.  We sorted them into the different groups.  We also started to look at the veins on the leaves and learnt some new words – pinnate, palmate and parallel veins!

We then used leaves to make a leaf man that was the same length as a piece of string, we then shorten or lengthen the string and made a shorter or longer leaf man.  We also went on a measuring scavenger hunt where we used lots of mathematical vocabulary related to length and height.
