A large part of her time with us was spent in enabling her to do her homework. She worked really really hard, and produced a booklet to detail what activities (from the assigned list) she had completed. Each activity had to have photographic evidence, and be signed and dated by an adult.
I think she detailed documented 20 activities, and I really hope they read her work. Her best friend's booklet content was atually written by her mother, just copied by the girl concerned.
One of the activities was to research and write about 5 different types of tree. One of thetypes I suggested was Monkey Puzzle, and we got help from our local village to find out where there were MP trees of various ages.We took a photo of her standing beside each tree so we could get an idea of scale.
They ranged from about 8 years old to about 175 years old.

| WIndsor Great Park, 25m, rare as it has babies! |
We were impressed by the tree at St Jude's church... and the we found the one at Windsor Great Park!
The oldest, tallest, tree that we found was in Windsor Great Park, near China Island.
I think we were responsible for about 15 of the 20 activities in her book.
