Tree - The story of a tree - for young children - interactive CD-Rom
Tree CD Rom A story for young children. An ash tree has its life taken away by the very wind that gave it life. A great storm occurs in 1987 and over fifteen million trees in Southern England are blown down. This is the story of one of those trees. A craftsman goes into the wood one day and rescues the ash tree and takes it back to his workshop. He sets to works with his tools and makes a piece of furniture that gives the tree everlasting life.
The interactive CD-Rom centres around an 8 minute film of the story of this tree. The learner can explore various aspects such as historical events when the tree was born 200 years ago, it looks at wood, how trees work, tools, furniture and more to give an appreciation of the value of trees and the importance of the Practical Arts in Education
