Junior and senior infants are studying the horse chestnut. The trees in the grounds have started to open their buds, the are the first trees to come into leaf. Notice the sticky buds and the green slightly furry leaves starting to expand. The leaves are quite small at the moment but will get bigger over the next week or so. Watch out for the flowers later on in the year. These produce the horse chestnuts or "conkers".
