WelcomeWWF is the world’s leading independent conservation organisation. And we’re tackling the most serious conservation challenges facing the planet, building a future where people and nature thrive together.

That’s why we’re passionate about sharing the planet’s resources more sustainably, taking action on climate change and protecting endangered wildlife.

Our determination, experience and scientific know-how means we’re a positive force for change. But these are tough challenges so we must also engage with communities, with business, with government. And with you.

My True NatureWe’re delighted you’re getting involved in My True Nature – a new competition to celebrate our 50th anniversary in 2011. My True Nature is an inspiring creative project that invites young people to reflect on what nature means to them and why it’s important. They can express their experiences through one of the following competition categories:

• Film and photography • Art and sculpture • Writing • Music/Audio recordings • Dance and movement.

Anyone in the UK aged 7-16 can enter, and winners will be among our VIP guests at a special WWF anniversary event at which their artworks will be showcased.

This pack and our competition website contain lots of ideas and stimulus materials to inspire learning about the natural world. By encouraging pupils to explore their connection with nature, we want to motivate tomorrow’s decision-makers to help safeguard our beautiful planet.

Curriculum linksWe’ve developed the competition to ensure it’s easy to implement within the taught curriculum. It can be delivered through a variety of subject areas and teaching styles. The competition has strong links to Expressive Arts including Art and Design, PE, Drama and Music, as well as providing learning opportunities in English, Geography and Citizenship.

2. Competition stimulus

WWf filmThe WWF film contains a selection of breathtaking images to inspire your pupils to think and talk about what in nature is special to them. For example, it could be:

• A favourite wild animal • A local park • Your school grounds • A favourite wood land • A tree they pass on the way to school or to the shops• A beautiful landscape seen for real or viewed online• An experience they’ve valued, such as camping, cycling in the countryside or simply walking their dog.Download it at: wwf.org.uk/mytruenature

Recording and lyric sheetA young person has written and recorded a song especially to introduce the competition to others taking part. A copy of the lyric sheet is also available on page 12. Key words within it could act as a useful reference point. Download it at: wwf.org.uk/mytruenature

We’ve developed a range of resources to help teachers introduce and integrate this exciting competition into the curriculum, or into out-of-school activities.

This teacher guidance booklet also includes the following resources:

Pupil briefing sheetThe briefing sheet provides pupils with some background information on WWF, details of the competition brief, the prize on offer and some ideas to get them thinking.

Assembly planYou can use the assembly plan to launch the competition to the whole school. If you intend to share your entries online, pupils can be encouraged to comment on the work that’s being produced.

sample parent letterWhy not let parents know that your school is taking part in the competition? They could help to support their child in any after-school work that you might set in connection with the competition.

ideas for teaching and pupil exploration sheetsWe’ve provided a range of bite-sized lesson activities that can be used flexibly to help you prepare your pupils for the competition. You could use a variety of activities to run a My True Nature week – where pupils explore their connection to nature in different ways before choosing how to develop their final entry. Or you could choose one or two to complement your existing lesson plans.

Some lesson activities are also supported by pupil exploration sheets which you can photocopy and hand out to each pupil.

3. ideas for teaching Our beautiful planet provides us with everything we need – the water we drink, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the materials for our homes and much more. Nature is also important for your physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. We are intricately connected to nature in so many ways…

So nature provides a lot to work with! Help your pupils explore their connection to nature with some of the following lesson activities.

Art and designActivity: in tune with artLearning objective: to use music as a starting point to communicate their ideas and feelings about the natural world.

Nature music – that is, music made entirely with the sounds of nature – can be extremely expressive.

Give each pupil a blank piece of paper and explain that while listening to the music, they should close their eyes and let the sounds come alive in their imagination. Using drawing tools, they should produce their visual interpretation of the music. Once the artwork is complete, pupils can share their piece with the rest of the class, explaining their interpretation.

Alternatively, you can use the My True Nature song for this activity.

Activity: outside my window Learning objective: to collect visual and other information to help them develop their ideas.

Go out into the school grounds or arrange a visit to a part of the local area of particular interest to pupils. Ask them to identify different aspects of nature and explain how they think and feel about them.

During the visit, pupils can use viewfinders to select views that they think include interesting features – such as fields, waterways, trees, animals, the landscape or flowers. They record these by drawing thumbnail sketches in their sketchbooks. Alternatively, they can record their observations through photography.

My True Nature

Activity: works of art! Learning objective: to inspire pupils’ work by investigating how different artists have responded to nature.In the classroom, show pupils examples of how artists have responded to nature. Ask them to describe one work. What can they see? What is the focus of the work? Why did the artist select that particular viewpoint? What was the purpose of the work? Who was it for? How has the artist used line colour and pattern in the work?

Here are some artists who have used nature for inspiration:

• Photography: Karl Blossfeldt

• Sculpture: Nick Mackman and Kate Malone

• Landscapes: Kurt Jackson, David Hockney, John Constable, William Turner

Other works of interest might include: Tiger in a storm by Henry Rousseau; Blue horses by Franz Marc; Ivy in flower by Henri Matisse; and aboriginal ‘dot’ paintings (of animals

Activity: my personal view of nature Learning objective: to reflect on their work in progress and adapt it according to their own ideas.

Discuss with pupils how they might select one of their thumbnail sketches to make a composition for a drawing or painting. Or how they could combine ideas from their first-hand observation to create their own view.

Their personal view of nature could be communicated in a way that best suits their ideas – for example, collage (perhaps using different materials from nature), painting, drawing or sculpture.

Activity: My True Nature documentaryLearning objective: to use photographic and/or film techniques to communicate their story about nature.

Ask pupils to work in groups to agree a nature story that they’ll film or photograph around the school or in a local setting. Each group should talk about their visual information. What will they cover in each part? Ask them to make an annotated visual plan using the planning tool provided on page 10.

Then arrange for the groups to take a series of four or five photographs or make their short video sequence.

This activity can also link to Drama.

ideas for teaching

They could record and annotate some key movements they want to include in their competition performance using the planning tool provided on page 10.

Activity: song of nature Learning objective: to understand what is meant by the term ‘lyrics’, ;and to compose a song.

Play the My True Nature song. Ask pupils to listen carefully for the key phrases and write them down for everyone to see. Discuss the phrases they identify. Why did they pick them out? Do they tell a story or convey an attitude or mood? Play the song again and introduce the term ‘lyrics’. You could hand out a copy of the lyric sheet on p12 to pairs of pupils and ask the whole class to sing the lyrics together.

Pupils should then compose a short song inspired by nature, using their own lyrics. Some may find it difficult to compose both lyrics and melody. These pupils could use a poem with a simple structure as the stimulus for the melody and song. This activity also links to English.

Activity: the sound of natureLearning objective: to use sounds descriptively and to compose some music Ask pupils in pairs or small groups to compose music that describes animals, different seasons or the weather. Once they’ve decided on the subject for their music, they should choose a musical instrument for it. They should think about how the pitch and rhythm can be used to describe different aspects.

Activity: nature’s dance Learning objective: to respond to a variety of stimuli and create and perform a dance using a range of movement patterns.

Children could create a dance or movement sequence using a variety of stimuli to inspire them:

• Nature sounds: Play nature music. Pupils can be encouraged to change the speed, strength and flow of their movements to match the changes in tempo.

• Animal-inspired music: Play music that describes animals – for example, ‘Dawn parade’ and ‘Trust in me’ from The Jungle Book, or Saint-Saëns’ ‘Carnival of the Animals’. Ask pupils to move about the hall exploring the different shapes, expressive gestures and movements that the animals make.

• Eye dance: Ask pupils to look at images of nature and to talk about movement ideas inspired by them. Encourage them to use more than one stimulus to inspire their initial ideas and movements – for example, the slide pack provided, videos, pictures, books.

• My True Nature dance: Pupils think about how to use movement to communicate the ideas within the My True Nature song.

Activity: what am i? Learning objective: to investigate places, analyse evidence and use secondary sources of information.

On each day for a week, give pupils two facts about a place of great natural beauty – for example, the Lake District or a coastal area. Ask them to post their answer in a nature box as soon as they recognise the place. Reveal the identity of the place at the end of the week. The difficulty level, for example in the nature of the facts given or how well-known the place or location is, can be varied to allow this activity to be used in different years of the key stage.

Activity: places of natural beauty Learning objective: to collect, record and present information, and identify the location of different places in the world.

Ask pupils to interview a number of people to find out their favourite place of natural beauty in the world, and the reasons for their choice. They can use an atlas to find out where the places are and produce a display map showing where they’re located. The results of the survey can be entered into a database. Pupils could then turn the results into a graph and analyse the findings. For example, which factor has the most impact on the choice made?

Ask pairs of pupils to ‘adopt’ a place of natural beauty and research it. A possible starting point could be to plot the weather over the week using the internet. They could produce short reports and display them on a wall map of the world.

Activity: nature writing Learning objective: to use writing to express their connection to nature.

Working in teams, pupils create a mind map about nature – words to describe it, what experiences connect them to it (such as playing in the park) and how it makes them feel. A simple template has been provided on page 11. Ask the children to share their ideas.

Children now develop a piece of work inspired by nature. For example:

• A real-life magazine feature that shares their eperiences of nature • A piece about their favourite place in their local environment • Diary entries from an outdoor holiday – for example, camping or going to the seaside • Writing about their favourite animal or pet • A poem about nature.

This activity can also link to Geography and Citizenship by extending the mind mapping exercise to consider how we damage the natural world and what we can do to help protect it.

Verse 1Life can leave me lost, And wandering alone, Armies on all sides, And far away from home. Pre-chorus 1But when the rain falls, I’m finally alive. Chorus 1There’s more than you or I can ever know, each tree that meets the sky has roots deep down below, Such mysteries fill the rivers and walk the hills, I step outside... and feel like I’ve... come home Verse 2 My True Nature grows, And changes naturally, I am everything, And everything is me. Pre-chorus 2So when the moon calls, I’m finally alive. Chorus 2There’s more than you or I can ever know, Each tree that meets the sky has roots deep down below, Such mysteries fill the rivers and walk the hills, I step outside and feel like I’ve...

Chorus 3There’s more than you or I can ever know, (Whoa) Each tree that meets the sky has roots deep down below, Such mysteries fill the rivers and walk the hills, I step outside... and feel like I’ve, Yes, I step outside, and I feel like I’ve... come home.
