Key Terms

Blossom: The flowers on certain trees that can turn into fruits containing seeds.
Deciduous Tree: A tree that loses its leaves in autumn and grows new ones in spring.
Evergreen Tree: A tree that keeps its green leaves all year round.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do you explain what a tree is to KS1 children?

A tree is a tall plant with roots, a strong trunk, branches, and leaves. It needs water, light, and air to grow and can live for many years.

What is the difference between deciduous and evergreen trees for KS1?

Deciduous trees drop their leaves in autumn, while evergreen trees keep their leaves all year. Children can compare them by looking at leaves in different seasons.

Why do some trees have blossom and fruit?

Blossom is the tree’s flower. After pollination, some blossoms turn into fruits that hold seeds, helping the tree make new plants.
