Looking at trees 16th March 2020

While you are out and about, take a good, close look at the trees in your area. Do they know it's springtime? Have their buds burst into leaf yet? 

Here are some trees I spotted today.

Looking at trees 16th March 2020

Can you find the same type of trees in your area? Are their buds any further along than these?
Take a notebook and pencil with you, study the trees closely and sketch what you see.

As always, I would be delighted to see your sketches.

Update!
18th March - The horse chestnut has just burst into leaf! The weather has been much milder in the past 2 days so maybe this is the reason. Here is a picture from yesterday

    Hi Ms O'Brien, the buds are on some of our trees and flowers on some trees too. Our tulips have come up and we have lots of daffodils. Grace Dempsey

    That sounds just lovely Grace. There's nothing like tulips and daffodils to brighten up a dull day!

    Grace I thought I'd sent this reply at 9 oclock this morning and just realised I didn't! I'm only learning how to use all these systems so apologies for late reply.

      Hmm your apple tree is
      ahead of mine. However I have leaves here now on hawthorn and horse chestnut. Can you find out what type of trees are the other two in your garden?

Target Boards I will put up a daily challenge. Give it a go! Instructions: Use the numbers given to try to make the target number. See how many different ways you can make the target.  You can use +addition, -subtraction, x multiplication or /division and as many or few of the numbers as you need for each number sentence.  (You can only use each number once per number sentence) Examples: 3+2+5=10;   (3x2)+4=10;   5x2=10 Monday's Challenge: and a challenge for your parents if they want one! Email me your answers and I will put up all your solutions at the end of every day Whoops, forgot to put up a solution for Monday! Thanks to Charlie I just remembered. Well done Charlie on finding so many number sentences to make up the target!  Just be careful to only use each number once in each number sentence! Another solution in from GraceD. I'm very impressed with this - a 2nd class pupil using multiplication! ______________________
