Working in collaboration with the Heart of England Forest, the children will be transported by bus to plant trees locally, where they will be encouraged to learn:

​

• What animals use and depend on trees

• About the parts of a tree and what they need to grow

• How trees produce oxygen and store carbon

• Identify tree varieties using classification charts

• Investigate the age of trees and learn about their lifecycle

• The different uses of forests

• The impacts of human activities, deforestation, afforestation, reforestation and open burning

• To create a connection with nature and a desire to protect and plant trees

​

All of the above support the school in meeting their national curriculum objectives
