Today is national tree day. What will you be doing?

trees
Local councils run great events where you can have the opportunity to plant a tree, learn about local trees that best suit your area and some councils even give away free mulch and trees for your backyard!
However – we can’t always make these events so why don’t you look around and see if you have any books at home that might inspire more thought and care towards these living things that we cannot do without.

Try one of these books:

On thousand Trees by Kyle 
Florette by Anna Walker
Mille -Mae and the Lemon Tree
Trees by Lemniscates
Forest by Marc Martin
Leaf by Stephen Michael King
Uno’s Garden by Graeme Base
Last tree in the city
The Lorax by Dr Suess
Where the Forest Meets the sea by Jeannie Baker.

Let me know if you would like any help in adding more to your literacy or home reading time.

Enjoy your day appreciating the trees!

Thanks so much Vanessa for coming out and sharing your book “The Bee Detectives” with our children 3-5 years old. The experience allowed them to learn so much more about Bees. We have had our native Bees for several years and had beekeepers out before. Your book took an in-depth look into classification, different ways they live, how they collect pollen and make honey.  It created lots of meaningful conversation with the children; your interactive book reading allowed them to share these ideas with each other. The extended activity afterwards of the magnifiers provided by Vanessa was a great extension to the book. The children were so excited to be their very own Bee detectives and really extended their learning.

I was impressed with Vanessa’s professionalism in preparing the teacher notes for my picture book, In the Shadow of an Elephant. Her depth of knowledge on the multitude of topics covered was just incredible! She has compiled a 15-page document that will allow Educators and students an opportunity to explore conversations and discover different layers within the book. Georgie Donaghey
