Family Activity
Welcome to the Sycamore Tree
Can you stand in this tree?
Look behind the tree – can you see an old slide in the rocks behind? For many, many years children have slid down this slide – even in the Victorian era!
Have a think about children from the Victorian era – over 150 years ago – what do you want to ask the tree about them?
Do you know which machine the seeds on the sycamore tree are named after? To give you a clue they spin round and round very fast in the wind to spread to new places to grow.
