Have your wellies helped you explore woods, discover minibeasts, climb a tree, wade through forest streams, build a den or go on a woodland adventure?
To help celebrate the 20th anniversary of its Teaching Trees programme, the Royal Forestry Society is inviting children, schools and young people’s organisations to enter a free poetry competition inspired by Michael and Clare Morpurgo’s remarkable book Where My Wellies Take Me.
There are three categories Age 5 - 7 (Key Stage 1), Age 7 - 11 (Key Stage 2) and Age 11 - 13 (Key Stage 3). Winners will be announced on World Book Day (5 March) and they and their school/organisation will each receive a hardback copy of Where my Wellies Take Me. Closing date for entries is Monday 24th February. Full details are available at https://www.rfs.org.uk/learning/teaching-trees/where-my-wellies-take-me-poetry-competition-for-world-book-day/.
Where My Wellies Take Me was voted by Teaching Trees’ Education Officers as one of their top 20 books for inspiring imaginations and creativity when visiting a forest. View the full list of books at https://www.rfs.org.uk/news/blogs/.
Teaching Trees already operates in nine regions in England and is hoping to announce an additional three Education Officers during 2020.
