Be Active - Autumn Shapes

"I�m loving the Ten Minute Walk exercise. I�m currently uploading my pics to my media album adding sound effects and such. I like how easy the site is to navigate through and using the example videos you can�t go wrong. I intend to carry on with my media album for now and what�s great is I can do it in my own time. Thank you Start2! "

Step 5: Looking at textures

  • Once the leaves have all gone it’s much easier to see the shape and texture of the bark on the tree trunks. Take rubbings of the different barks with our 'Taking Rubbings' activity - or sketch or photograph the bark

 

Oak bark:

Oak bark is very ridged.

 

 

Horse Chestnut bark:

Horse Chestnut bark is patchy.

 

 

 


Sycamore bark:

Sycamore bark can be quite flat when the tree is young.  It will develop ridges and cracks as the tree gets older, and in some cases will flake off.
