Thursday, October 9th 2008 is National Tree Day. This year is the Year of the Alder Tree. The Tree Council of Ireland has made lots of worksheets for all primary classes. According to their web site,
“On Thursday 9th of October, 2008 all primary school children in Ireland will leave their school bags at home and spend the day learning about trees in a fun and relaxed environment.”
That’s the first I heard of that! I must change all my lesson plans accordingly 🙂
