On this page, you will find resources and activity plans from Foundation Phase to Lifelong Learning, covering everything from how to measure a tree's height to calculating how much carbon is locked up in an individual tree.

Curriculum links are included in the documents and all the activities will help you deliver many aspects of the National Literacy and Numeracy Framework (LNF) and Digital Competence Framework.

Why are trees important?

This activity plan explains the many benefits that trees and woodlands provide for both people and the environment.

Why are trees important (activity plan)

Seed dispersal

From learning about how animals help seeds disperse to understanding what a seed needs to successfully germinate, all these activities are interactive and designed to get your learners moving.

Our information note explains how and why plants disperse their seeds. From 'bursting' to 'drop and roll' there are many different methods of seed dispersal.

Measuring trees

From measuring tree height to discovering the age of a tree, these activities can help embed an understanding of numerous mathematical concepts whilst making the most of the outside classroom.

Woodland management - the tree cycle

This activity plan looks at the life cycle of trees and the cycle of sustainable woodland management.

Growing trees from seed - Operation Acorn

This presentation highlights how acorns are grown from seed to tree in a tree nursery. Acorns are highly perishable, so with thousands of acorns to plant, it's a race against time to get them in the ground.

Growing trees from seed - Operation Acorn ( PowerPoint presentation)

How a tree works

The secret life of a tree uncovered. This activity plan will get your learners moving by getting them to build a human tree and acting out the various functions of the tree's parts.

How a tree works (activity plan)
How a tree works (poster)

Use our poster as an aid to the 'How a tree works' activity or as a reference for learners.

Trees and carbon

These activities highlight the important role trees have in absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis and storing it as carbon in the form of wood.

Carbon footprint (activity plan)

This activity plan explains how to calculate your learners' carbon footprints using measurement, calculations and a graph and how to measure how much carbon is stored in trees.

Carbon (information note)
Carbon footprint (worksheet)
Carbon footprint (resource cards)
Carbon storage calculator (activity plan)

This activity explains how to measure how much carbon is stored in trees, how to age and identify different types of trees and describe how trees combat climate change by storing carbon.

Carbon equivalents (resource cards)

This activity helps you to think about how men and women are affected by the coronavirus, and links to United Nation's Sustainable Development Goal 5: Gender Equality.

It was created by The Economist Educational Foundation and supported by by the Connecting Classrooms through Global Learning programme, from the British Council and UK Aid.

You will be able to explore interesting questions like:

Does the coronavirus affect men or women more?

Are women better leaders during a pandemic?

Does society think hard enough about gender during a pandemic?

You can give this a go on your own, but if there's someone at home who can join you, why not work together? You could also connect with someone by telephone or video.

Welcome back to a new school year with RRSA.

This school year is going to present some unique challenges, with a lot of uncertainty in the wider landscape.

For many of you the focus this term will be ensuring that children and young people get back in a regular routine of learning. Of equal importance will be the mental wellbeing of students returning after a period of instability.

A focus on children's rights throughout school policy and practice ensures the wellbeing of children and young people is at the heart of everything your school does. Consider boosting your rights respecting practice this term by booking an assessment by email and pushing your school to the next stage of the RRSA.

We also suggest exploring our online Training Courses, Support Workshops, our E-Learning courses and our Teaching Resources. They can really make a huge difference to your work on children's rights.

For your work specifically on wellbeing and mental health we recommend Place2Be resources and training. Join Place2Be's online Mental Health Champions - Foundation programme to gain a deeper understanding of mental health. This online course can be an introduction or a refresher. It is free to qualified teachers and school-based staff in the UK.
