St Peter’s Tree Study
A lesson in tree appreciation
Trinity+
Get Primary 1 students to stand in front of the star and ask them: What do you see ?
Repeat two weeks later, in Spring. And six weeks after that.
What will be learnt ?
Appendix:
I would advise purchase of a historical sequence of books on one topic. Then you can ascertain an arc. I am not sure if this is useful but there is a degree of pleasure in learning that the Royal Oak pub is a meeting point for those of a Cavalier disposition (King Charles hid up a tree once, allegedly).
In the same way a person of senior years might be asked about some local landmark such as Mrs Oliver Cromwell’s home after her husband died.
But if you were to ask me I would stare at a tree and wonder what had transpired under its leaves. And if you wonder too I recommend Hope and her book Lab Girl.
