Children from Bladon CofE Primary School visited the OneOak site last week – or as some children called it the ‘NoOak’ site!\u00a0 They explored the star-shaped tree stump and marvelled at how different the woodland looked compared to when they last visited:\u00a0 sun instead of snow, brackens and ferns rather than mud, and a large hole in the sky where the OneOak’s giant canopy once shaded the woodland floor.<\/p>\n\n
The children have also been busy writing poems inspired by the project.\u00a0 Here is one from Holly Topping, age 9.<\/p>\n

\nLooking for a place to nest.
\nI\u2019ve been cut down by the forester.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nHunting for acorns to eat.
\nI\u2019ve been lifted on a truck and been carried away.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nTrying to find some where to make a hive.
\nI\u2019m drying out at the sawmill.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nPecking in the bark looking for bugs.
\nI\u2019m being carved into chairs.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nPeering around for a place to land.
\nI\u2019m being made into beams for houses.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nPlanting lots of acorns.
\nI\u2019m being made into something for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n
