Learning activities
Diving in with literature
Students will read to the story “Stick Man” by Julia Donaldson and discover connections they have to the author, the topic and their natural environment.
Get creative, get active
Students make their own stick man using natural resources. These stick men will then join us for a series of challenges and activities as we undertake a Stick Man inspired nature trail around the school to try and find their ‘family tree’.
Get festive
For the final activity students will make their own Christmas ornament using clay and natural resources from the school grounds.
