Log in or registerTake your class on a woodland adventure and capture the experience through art, photography and creative writing.
Woods are exciting places to explore, especially for children.
They can experience the thrill of climbing a tree, follow a trail of mystery footprints in the mud, or catch a glimpse of a shy creature darting through the undergrowth. And the best bit? No two visits are ever the same.
We love hearing how much youngsters enjoy trees and nature, so for this challenge we’d like your pupils to tell us about their trip to the woods.
When you send us their art, stories and photos you’ll earn two points on the Green Tree Schools Award.
Encourage your students to think about how the woodland made them feel. What did they expect it to be like? Which sounds, sights and smells did they experience? What was their favourite bit?
Your pupils can express their thoughts and feelings in a variety of ways. Here are some ideas to get them started:
This challenge is worth two points on our award. To claim them, send us details of your pupils’ woodland experiences such as photos of artwork, poems and reviews.
