British Trees: Identification: sheet 2 - Plants - Year 2

As part of the educational curriculum for Year 2, students are introduced to the fascinating world of British trees through an identification activity, specifically 'British Trees: Identification: Sheet 2'. This resource serves as a guide to help young learners recognise and name different types of trees found within their local environment. Among the trees featured on this sheet are the beech and sycamore, as well as the ash and hawthorn. These trees are common in the UK and provide an excellent starting point for children to begin understanding the diversity of tree species around them.

The accompanying questions prompt students to think critically about the natural world, asking what plants and trees require to grow healthily. This encourages a discussion about the necessities of sunlight, water, nutrients from the soil, and the right space to flourish. Additionally, the activity invites children to explore their own locality by identifying and naming the trees they see in their surroundings. This hands-on approach not only aids in their recognition skills but also fosters a sense of connection and appreciation for the natural ecosystems they live in. (c) Focus Education (UK) Ltd.
