Would really recommend downloading this lesson plan ahead of a visit to the forest with your class. I used it with my Year 5 class and found it really useful alongside the other Forestry England lesson plans. I really liked how it includes links to the curriculum, as well as points for discussions in lessons after the visit has taken place. Really useful and definitely recommend!
