The oak tree in our school

My Report is about the oak tree in the junior playground. It is over 50 years old. It is like the symbol of Glen Innes school. It has been sitting in the same spot for over 50 years. Its trunk is about 4 metres

in height and 1 metre in width. The kids love to play with the acorns and throw them at each other even though their not aloud too. The leaves are a beautiful glossy dark green. In Autumn the leaves turn golden brown and they are very crisp. In winter the leaves turn light green but in spring they still look the same. The oak tree is about 68 feet tall. Its branches are spread out which gives the kids nice shade on hot days.
