Today we went on a field trip to the hedgerow.
We drew some things from the natural environment and also listed some things that didn't belong. We also did a survey on the plants we saw - hawthorn, brambles, dandelion and goose grass/robin run the hedge.
We also saw some signs of spring. We found lots of primroses. There were lots of beautiful ladybirds on them.
We saw a dandelion flower too. Dandelion comes from the French name for the plant 'dan de lion' which means the teeth of the lion.
We also saw a hawthorn bud burst. This was very exciting as it was another of the signs of spring we were looking out for as part of the Greenwave project!
We saw lots of brambles on the field trip too. We even spotted two snails on one of the leaves.
We really loved goose grass because it is so sticky. Cecelia said that she used to stick this on her brother's back when they were children and we all had great fun trying this out on each other!
