The Fig Tree

In common with the olive tree and the Yew Tree, the fig tree can not only live for many centuries, but has a place in the cultures of diverse civilizations. In all three cases, the tree or individual trees are sacred to groups of people and they are also prized for the healing powers of their products.
Fig trees may also hold the secret to how we can save our planet from pollution, biodiversity loss and global warming.

How to use this resource

There are 5 Rays, which provide a programme for one year’s sessions for a children’s group running during term-time. For each Ray, there is a set of topics, each of which comprises a theme for a term or half-term.

The sessions are presented in a pick-and-mix way - some information, some games, crafts, videos, etc. You are encouraged to adapt the material to your own setting , the time you have available and the resources you have. Don’t think that you have to do everything on offer.
