Memorandum
Observe the trees all around us. Look at the different size and shapes, look at the texture of the bark and leaves. Allow the children to discover and create patterns with the leaves or textures they observe in the trees (A&C 1.8; 1.9).
Enact the tree growing from seed. Encourage the children to move slowly to show how the tree pushes out each tiny shoot or root. Then try to emulate movements in the wind.
Contrast the movements made by nature with a noisy timber factory, as the children become the machinery that will chop and cut and saw the wood as they
will read on the page about a timber factory (‘From wood to paper’).
First explain to the learners what the difference between a plantation and a forest is, and then let them draw a picture of a plantation on the cover page of the module.
Valentine’s Day is a good example of this. The business world just cashed in on people’s unlimited wants. Naturally these will continue to change. End the questionnaire by asking what they think their children might want (EMS LO 1.
