How many wild garden flowers can you recognise? - Presentation

The educational presentation 'How many wild garden flowers can you recognise?' is part of COMPONENT 3 from Focus Education (UK) Ltd. It is designed to help pupils familiarise themselves with the flora found in woodlands and gardens. The presentation begins with an interactive discussion where children are encouraged to share their knowledge about plant growth from seeds, inspired by the books 'Jack and the Baked Beanstalk' and 'The Enormous Turnip'. It then prompts them to identify common flowering plants they might encounter in the woods, using a laminated chart as a reference guide for their exploration.

Teachers are encouraged to take their pupils on a woodland walk or a visit to a nearby area to put their identification skills into practice, searching for wildflowers with the aid of Chart 1. This chart includes images of woodland plants such as bluebells, foxgloves, primroses, and brambles. Additionally, students are tasked with creating informative signposts about the plants they discover, which could be displayed in the woods or school grounds. The learning extends beyond the classroom with a homework task using Chart 2, which depicts common garden plants like roses, daffodils, and tulips, to see if any of these flowers are present in the students' home gardens. The activity is designed to deepen their understanding of plant life cycles and to recognise various species in their natural habitats.
