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.

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.
