Create signposts to put in the woods or school ground - Activity - Year 1

Embark on an educational adventure by joining a team of four to craft informative signposts for your school's woodland or grounds. Your mission is to create a guide no bigger than an A4 sheet that showcases the flourishing flora around you. This engaging activity will not only enhance the natural beauty of your surroundings but also serve as an enlightening resource for visitors eager to learn about the local vegetation.

Each signpost should feature a vivid photograph or illustration of a plant at two different stages: in full bloom and when it's not flowering. Accompany these images with essential details about the plant, such as its flowering period, to provide a comprehensive snapshot of its life cycle. As you delve into this creative project, consider the various parts of the plants and the birds that might be spotted nearby. This is a chance to test your knowledge of the wild garden flowers you've come to recognise and to share that knowledge with others. Your signpost will not only be a beacon of information but also a testament to the beauty and diversity of the school's natural environment.
