Hi!!We are
the little students of the first grade of Primary Education at Francisco Arranz
School, from Madrid.
Helped by
our teachers MªCarmen and Raquel, we have been investigating some plants and
trees we can find in our surroundings. We are really lucky, because there is a
big park next to our school called “Parque de las Cruces”, which is the ideal
place to learn more information about forests. Moreover, we have been also
collecting some elements of trees we have been founding with our own families.
And here
comes our Investigating Project!!
The first
thing we did was going to the park to see, smell and touch the trees, the
leaves and the fruits. We talked about the similarities and the differences
between the trees we found and we took some samples of these trees. We had a
great time!
Then, in
our classrooms, we analyzed these samples.
One of the
classes worked with the leaves and the fruits of some of the trees we found in
this park, but also, some leaves and fruits we had been bringing to the school.
We discovered several trees, such as holm oaks, chestnuts, pines and walnuts.
Finally we worked in groups and each group prepared an information card of each
tree. The other classroom analyzed the samples collected from our park. We
discovered different trees such as arbutus, pines and cedars. We were able to
create our own herbariums. As you can see in the pictures, we are artists!
We learnt a
lot about trees!! We wish we can repeat this activity in spring to see the
flowers growing!
Hope you
like it!!
