TREES AROUND OUR KINDERGARTEN

 We would like to introduce to you the trees we chose for our project and which are in the near surroundings of our kindergarten.

This tree is called "The Japanese Cherry" (lat.Prunus Serrulata) and the reason we chose this tree was because its leaves turn into red,yellow and magenta colours in autumn and when its spring time, the leaves turn into bright pink with white flowers. 

We decided to take our group for a walk to the bank of our river Sava. On the way there children saw a tree that had red berries and they were interested to find out what kind of tree has that kind of berries. We took a picture of the tree and then discussed with the children what they think the name would be. They were surprised to find out it is a rosehip tree, the same tea that we often drink in the cold winter night.

After a 20 minute walk we ended up at the bank of our river Sava. The bank  spreads across the west and the east part of our city Zagreb. The children chose one particular tree that sticks out from the rest of the trees because it was alone and surrounded with tall grass. They loved playing underneath the tree because it gave a big shade across the bank The children rolled down the bank and played hide and seek.It was such a fun time.
