Bark rubbing

We are learning about trees and plants for this term's project.
This afternoon we went out to look at some of the trees in the school grounds.
It's spring time and the trees are beginning to waken up after the long, cold winter.

We looked at the bark of the trees and noticed that it was quite rough.
Every type of tree has a different bark pattern.
We used crayons to take some rubbings of the bark of the trees and then compared them.

The bark is like the tree's skin so we had to be careful not to damage it as this could kill the tree.

It takes two to be able to do a good bark rubbing
