GUM TREE Presentation • Say the rhyme with the actions for the class. • The class claps the beat while saying the rhyme. • The class says the rhyme with the actions. Additional activities/information • Gum trees of different kinds grow in various parts of Australia; for example, the sugar gum in South Australia, gum-topped ironbark in Queensland, blue mountain mallee in New South Wales, Tasmanian snow gum in Tasmania, Grampians gum in Victoria, jarrah in Western Australia and weeping box in the Northern Territory. • Discuss what sort of gum trees grow in the local area. • Read the following story to the class. If possible, the students could sit under a gum tree while they are listening. GERTIE AND JACK Gertie Gum and Jack Jarrah grew in the forest with lots of other gum trees. Gertie and Jack had grown up together. Their leaves often whispered to each other. The bush creatures who lived in their branches, trunks and roots were neighbours and the humans who worked in the forest were their friends and cared for them. One day, some other humans with notebooks arrived. They pointed to Jack Jarrah. They walked around him and said such words as ‘good specimen’, ‘dining table’ and ‘fl oorboards’ and went away. Some time later, a big truck pulled up along the bush track nearby. Men with axes and chain saws got out. They chopped and sawed at Jack until he crashed down. They cut off Jack’s top branches, leaving him lying there as a big bare log. Then they carted him away on the back of the big truck. • Discuss the issues in the story above; e.g. ‘Who do gum trees belong to?’ • Visit a gum tree in the school grounds or in a nearby park or street. Share, view, smell and stroke its leaves. Suggest words which describe how the leaves look, smell, feel and sound. • Create a gum tree out of paper and cardboard and make it ‘grow’ right up the classroom wall. Give the gum tree lots of branches. These can be filled with a variety of Australian birds and animals that call a gum tree home. ©R.I.C.
