Hello Trees books are used in classrooms across the UK.  Supported by the lesson plans you can find in the resources section, they provide everything you need to deliver the KS1 Plant Science statutory requirments that pupils must be able to identify and name common deciduous and evergreen trees.  Those requirements also require pupils to identify and describe the basic structure of trees.  hello trees, dormouse, ks1 science, tree identification, primary schools, science, plants, trees

 ‘The children find the books exciting.  Learning to identify trees using these child friendly storybooks becomes fun and memorable. Well illustrated, fact filled and memorable.’

Evelyn Clawson, Eco and Science coordinator, Brambleside Primary School, Kettering

In the wider curriculum

Communication and Language

The books encourage children to talk about what they find on their adventures with Hello Trees books.  They also introduce basic botanical terms and provide starting points for discussions about the environment

Physical Development

Exploring outside is a healthy choice – in wooded areas it can also develop skills to help children become more sure-footed and confident on their adventures.

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Adventures are more fun with friends!  Using Hello Trees books outside encourages group work, cooperation, confidence and helps children understand how being outdoors makes them feel.

Literacy

Hello Trees are presented in a clear font, perfect for early readers to identify letters, sounds and words.  Further activities can include making letters out of sticks and leaves and for slightly older children, introducing them to the key aspects of non-fiction books and understanding that the book titles use aliteration.

Mathematics

Trees provide great opportunities to count, estimate and measure as well as helping children see the differences in size and shape between different tree trunks and leaves.  How many points are on each leaf?  Is each leaf the same?

Understanding the World

Hello Trees books are all about understanding the world around us – and are specifically written about UK trees.  The books help promote an understanding how the trees change through the seasons and their importance in our environment – for humans and birds, animals and insects

Expressive Arts and Design

Adventures with the Hello Trees books can be used as a starting point for all sorts of projects – be they dance, drama, art, design or music.  Making models of trees, creating Andy Goldsworthy inspired patterns using natural materials or trying to reproduce the noises that leaves make in the wind are all engaging activities that can be linked to the books.

In Hertfordshire

In Hertfordshire, Kate has been into several schools to run workshops for the children.

Praised by teachers for the clear font, their size and how they engage children, the books can be used to link into both the EYFS and KS1 curriculums.  They can also be used as supporting material for older children working independently.
