Trees - Poetry

Another way to express the love of climbing trees is through poetry.

Margaret Atwood wrote a lovely poem called Up in a Tree
and what better place to hear it than in the woods.
The children and I found a spot far off the path surrounded by trees and read poetry about trees. 

Some of the children were inspired to write their own poems . . . 

I love climbing trees

I love trees

Trees make me happy

-Sofia

Look! I'm up in a tree!

I'm so happy.

-Roy

Simone worked hard at trying to create poems that rhyme:

I am a tree

I am a leaf

I come and freeze

I am a bee

I make honey from a tree

I am a fly

I like to lie

-Simone

I climb when I'm a person

I fly when I'm a bird

I like climbing trees

It's my favourite responsibility

-Simone
