Plenary

Tree of knowledge

A sketch of a bare tree is drawn on the paper. Each pupil has a leaf shaped piece of paper. On it they write as briefly as possible what has been the most important thing they have learnt in the lesson – preferably one word. Pupils in turn stick their leaf on the tree and say what is on the leaf.  Pupils then reflect on everyone's answers as they look at the tree.
