We all know what a tree is but what makes them unique and special.
On Tuesday 15 April 15 children aged 5 to 8 and their parents came to Ellenbrook library to investigate and explore the trees in the neighbourhood. We worked out how to tell one tree from another and why size matters and so does age and nationality when we are talking about trees. We discovered that all of the trees had been planted in the last 20 years so we could see how they grew differently and which ones the birds and insects preferred. We wrote a poem together and chose a tree seedling to take home and plant to give habitat for animals.
TREES
Trees make me feel happy
Beautiful, cool and wonderful
many shapes and sizes
Oxygen shade and love
Trees make me happy
They have very different seed pods
Female she oaks make nuts, males make pollen
Bees help to pollinate trees
Trees give us the energy people need to move
I like climbing amazing trees.
I’m happy when I can climb them
I love trees.
Thanks City of Swan.
