Titillate your senses with a woodland picnic, by hugging a tree, by exploring a woodland perfume, through a colour map and finally, by making a listening map.

This lesson, Senses Alive, really encourages children to familiarise themselves with their local woodland in a way which will stay with them long after the visit is over.

This wonderful resource from the Forestry Commission includes several suggestions to extend learning once back in the classroom.
