Content objective: This resource should enable a child to:

Suggestions for use: Before this activity, pupils should have completed the family tree worksheet (See Learning Pathway resource) Homework prior to lesson, pupils would have completed primary research by collecting data from their parents/ grandparents. (Or pupils can create a family tree on a famous person instead) Bring pupils outside to collect twigs/ leaves. Clean twigs. Ensure pupils wash their hands. Pupils design their family tree first, labeling their cut-out leaf shapes. Once checked and approved by teacher, pupils can begin to glue their twigs and leafs together to create their personal family tree.
