Horse Chestnut Tree Life Cycle PowerPoint Ages 5-6

This Horse Chestnut Tree Life Cycle PowerPoint follows the life cycle of the Horse Chestnut tree through the seasons.

Beautiful, original photos will captivate children making an everyday sight into an object of awe and wonder.

When can it be used?

It is most suitable for use especially in autumn when conkers are so appealing to children but it can easily be used in spring when the flowers are visible, or even in summer if the young fruits are observed and interest aroused.

Who is it for?

The Horse Chestnut Tree Life Cycle Powerpoint is intended for KS1 children.

It is intended to help teachers to deliver the plants aspect of the National Curriculum for KS1, Years 1 and 2.

It can also be profitably used with special needs children.

What does it contain?

This PowerPoint contains:

* 45 full-colour slides covering the lifecycle of the Horse Chestnut tree. The slides take the pupil on a journey from a conker, through winter, spring, summer and autumn, full cycle back to the conker.

It covers such topics as pollination, seasonal cycles, and the work of trees and plants as well as teaching children to name the parts of a tree.

How is it to be used?

As it is a PowerPoint and not a video, the teacher can control the speed of the slides to allow time for the reading of the text and discussion.

The text is all on the slides. It is simple enough to be used as guided reading with older children and to be read to Y1 children.

It can be used as a stimulus for further study.

• Learn where conkers come from and how they grow.

• Encourage your pupils to ask questions and find answers.

• Take your learning to a new dimension by exploring the natural world out of doors with your pupils this autumn.
