TREETON WOOD - EDUCATIONAL USE

INTRODUCTION
Treeton Wood is both more dense and less varied than its neighbour, Hail Mary Hill & Falconer Wood. However the wood could be usefully used by schools and suggestions for education work in the wood are given below.

More detailed information to support education work in the wood can be found in the Fuelling a Revolution education pack covering Hail Mary Hill, Falconer and Treeton Woods. Details on how to obtain this can be found in the Schools section of this website.

Oak Birch woodland in Treeton Wood
Although more uniform than its neighbour, Hail Mary Hill & Falconer Wood, the Oak-Birch woodland of Treeton Wood can still be used for education work.

SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES FROM THE SCHOOLS SECTION OF THIS WEBSITE
The Schools section of this website provides units of work covering a wide range of subject areas and Key Stages. Although, many of these units would be suitable for use in Treeton Wood, some are particularly appropriate, and for this reason, direct links to these downloadable materials are provided below.

Key Stage 1 Geography- 'Our Local Wood'

Being situated close to residential areas, Treeton Wood could form part of a route around the local area looking at different land uses.

Key Stage 2 Science - 'What Lives Where?'
Treeton Wood provides an ideal resource for studying where on the site animals might find shelter, water, air and food.

Key Stage 3 Geography - 'Woodland Climates'
Open and more dense areas of woodland, clearings under power lines, and open areas of ground such as the clearing at the western end of the wood could be compared in terms of their local climate.

 




In addition, other useful resources from the Fuelling a Revolution education packs and from 'get, set... Grow', the South Yorkshire Forest schools' pack, can be downloaded from Downloadable Pupil and Teacher Resources for Key Stage 2 in the Schools section of this site.

The 'Tree File' CD ROM that accompanies the 'get, set... Grow' pack contains identification details and background information for all of the major tree and shrub species found in the wood including Beech, Birch, Field Maple, Guelder Rose, Hazel, Oak, Rowan, Sweet Chestnut and Sycamore. For further information, go to the section on printed education materials in the Schools section of this website.
