On Friday 9th October Miss Finnerty and her class went to the Iveagh Gardens to learn about trees as part of National Tree Day.

It was a lovely sunny day and we walked from school all the way there. The city was busy and we enjoyed the journey.

When we arrived we met Donal, the gardener, who took us on a tour of the park. We learned to identify trees such as oak, horse chestnut, holly, birch, beech, and elder. Each tree had a different shaped leaf. We collected conkers/horsechestnuts, acorns, berries and had a great time learning outside in the sunshine and fresh air.

When we got back to school we did some leaf rubbings with the leaves. We put the leaves and berries on our nature table.
