Dear Parents/Guardians

Our class is beginning to study trees. We'll be observing and comparing trees to learn about what lives in them, what they're made from' and who cares for them. We hope that this study will help children explore and appreciate nature. As we study trees, we will use literacy, math, the arts, and technology to explore the topic in depth. We will learn important social studies and scientific concepts through firsthand investigation. 

If you are able to take a "tree walk" with your child, we would appreciate your help in collecting tree parts to investigate. If you can place take a bag to the tree and collect things that have fallen such as;leaves, bark, acorns, twigs, flowers, fruit, pine ones etc.

What you can do at home

Invite your child to talk about trees and games you might have played around them. 

Such as who lives in a tree?, what foods comes from trees? Who takes care of trees?how do trees change.

Thank you 

Ms Rattray
