Really helpful resource for delivering a lesson for my KS1 class. The students were engaged and enjoyed using their senses to explore the forest.
I downloaded and used this lesson plan alongside several others from Forestry England. I found this lesson plan really insightful and it helped me to encourage my Year 5 class to use their different senses on our trip to the forest. Would highly recommend!
