Hediye Sezin Aykurt - Girmeler Primary School - Turkey - Discovery In The Forest

Can you see the eyes of the tree?

We invited Mr Yılmaz who is both an assistant manager and a forest engineer MSc to our school to give a seminar about forests.We focused on some topics: 1. We learned the definition of forest, the benefits of the forest, the names of trees and wild animals. 2. We learned what to do to prevent the forest fire, what number to call if we see a forest fire ( 177 or 112). 3. We learned the vehicles used to put out the fire. 4. We learned how to plant a tree in four steps. Mr Yılmaz and his team gave presents to our students. At the end we planted trees in our school's yard.

My students are lucky because they live in a village. They are used to playing on green lands and in nature. While discovering in the forest, we saw not only trees, but also blackberries and aromatic plants like thyme,. We saw animals.
