Common Woodland Plants Chart - Chart 1 - Plants - Year 1

The "Common Woodland Plants Chart - Chart 1" is an educational resource tailored for Year 1 students to help them identify and become familiar with the flora commonly found in woodlands. The chart presents a selection of plant illustrations that students might encounter during a visit to the woods. Among the featured plants are the delicate bluebells, towering foxgloves, cheerful primroses, and sun-loving cowslips. Also included are the fragrant lily of the valley, the vibrant dog rose, the umbelliferous cow parsley, and the ubiquitous bramble. This visual guide encourages young learners to engage with their natural environment by recognizing and naming these woodland inhabitants.

Apart from plant identification, the chart also prompts students to explore further by asking them about the different parts of plants and to share their knowledge of various birds they know. This encourages a broader understanding of the natural world and the relationships within it. Additionally, the chart poses a question about wild garden flowers, inviting students to reflect on and discuss other plant species they may be familiar with, thus expanding their awareness of plant biodiversity beyond the woodland context. This educational material, provided by Focus Education (UK) Ltd, serves as a starting point for young learners to connect with nature and begin appreciating the diversity of plant life around them.
