5 Chestnut
Hi 5 Chestnut,
Miss Taylor, Miss Child and Mr Hannah are already making socially distanced plans for September. We are really looking forward to being back in school with you.
As our new class name will be 5 Chestnut, I would like you to do find out about the Chestnut tree over the Summer holiday..
Activities you could do
Research on the internet
Research through books
Go outside and find an example of a chestnut tree
Pick a few leaves, fruit or seeds
Compare different chestnut trees, how are they the same and different?
Ways you could present your ideas
make a video
draw pictures
do paintings
make a collage
make a model
take photographs
collect examples
any other method you can think of.
Things you could find out
Is there more than one type of chestnut tree
The shape of the tree
The shape of the leaves
What the seeds and fruit look like
Which animals live on or eat parts of the chestnut tree
These are just ideas to get you started but let your imagination go and make your work both interesting and well presented. Then all you have to do is get your grown up to email it to me at Y5@whitecote.co.uk.
I am looking forward to seeing all your activities and most of all to seeing you again in September. Have a great holiday and stay safe.
