The Ginkgo

This session we bring to an end our Amazing Ancient Trees Ray with the ginkgo. I, for one, have been fascinated by the many roles ancient trees play in our lives and in the life of our planet. The ginkgo surely qualifies for being the most ancient tree of them all, as it not only can live for over 1000 years, but has existed as a species almost unchanged for 200 million years.

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.
