Who lives in our trees?

We wanted to find out what or who was living in our trees so we decided to do a canopy shake. We laid out a white sheet ready to catch the creatures that fell as we gently shook the branches. But first we couldn't resist laying on the sheet and looking up at the canopy. We enjoyed looking at the light shimmering through the leaves.

The children excitedly discovered creatures of all shapes and sizes were living in the trees. Once again for some, drawing was the way they deepened their understanding and communicated what they had found.

One child was totally absorbed in browsing all the creatures in an identification book and ending up nestling himself in his tree with the book and magnifying glass to see the pictures in more detail...
