Felling a tree

Last week Miss Thomas had to fell a tree  because the tree was dead.   However, the  tree needed  to be moved so we learnt how to do this safely. Firstly, two of the group used loppers to cut away the branches. Then two members of the group used secateurs to make the branches smaller in size.  The reason for this is we can use this would for firewood.  The  rest of the groups used bow-saws to saw the tree  into smaller sections.  The reasons for this is to make it easier to move and that we could  still use the wood to make items with.   The groups learnt that even though the tree was dead it could be used as a resource in the coming weeks.
