Today's Homework

Now that I have a child in school, I am starting to learn lots of exciting new things.

Sam's homework over the weekend was to find various Autumn berries and seeds, so one slightly damp Sunday afternoon walk later and I now know what an Ash tree (and its seeds) looks like and likewise a Sycamore - the Holly, Conker, Hawthorn and Blackberry were not news to me I'm pleased to report.

We thought we knew what a Beech tree (and its nuts) was, but Google sadly proved us wrong when we got home; one for us to keep an eye out for over the rest of the week.

I was pretty interested in this little nature study, Sam not so much, but he did like printing the pictures, cutting them out and gluing them to his homework sheet, so that's something.
