This became one of the options for the name of the berry.

It is found in the Urals, the territory of the North Caucasus, and occupies the forest zone of the European part of Russia. Among the main characteristics of mountain ash, the first place is its adaptability to harsh winter conditions; in addition, it loves shade and moisture. The climate of the southern regions of Russia is difficult to tolerate.

There are more than 80 species of rowan in the world. The most common mountain ash is a small tree (up to 15 meters), the table of which has a smooth gray surface. The crown resembles an openwork pattern.

Rowan blossoms typically occur in late summer and early autumn. The unusually bright fruits of this tree, collected in clusters, are very similar in structure to apples. Each bunch contains up to 50 berries. The rowan berry contains from 4 to 8 seeds. Its leaves are miniature and have serrated edges. Rowan berries acquire their unique taste with the onset of frost.

The lifespan of this tree reaches 200 years. The first flowering of rowan occurs at the age of 7 years.

The use of rowan is so widespread that children know about it. This is an ornamental plant that serves as decoration in the home or at a holiday. Well-known types of painting, for example, Khokhloma, contain drawings with weighty bunches of these berries. Currently, the use of mountain ash in landscape design is widespread. Bright fruits, which sometimes delight people even in winter, give a great mood. The leaves are suitable for preparing decoctions and infusions. Rowan berries form the basis of food for birds and animals. For humans, it is a storehouse of vitamins, including malic acid, vitamin C, and a large amount of carotene. Tannins contained in both berries and wood. Prevents the process of decay.

Conversations with older children. Topic: "Rowan".

The purpose of the conversation: to deepen the child’s understanding of the benefits of rowan, where it grows, and external features.

Tasks:

- give children new knowledge about rowan;

- encourage children to make independent statements and reasoning;

— develop cognitive interest in the world around us, communication skills;

- activate speech, memory, attention and thinking;

- cultivate the ability to see the beauty of nature.

Previous work: observing rowan trees while walking, reading and memorizing poems, signs, riddles about rowan trees.

Material: bunch of rowan, Sukhomlinsky’s story “The Bird's Pantry”, illustrations of rowan.

Vocabulary work: landscape.

Progress of the conversation.

Educator:

guys, I'll tell you a riddle. Guess what we'll be talking about.

Green in the spring, tanned in the summer,

I put on a red necklace in the fall. (Rowan).

Educator:

That's right, it's a rowan. The beautiful rowan tree, sung in folk songs and poems, worthily adorns the landscape of our Motherland. It can be found in the forest, on the edges. Rowan also grows in our kindergarten. Now, in the fall, it is impossible not to notice it. Bright clusters, like red corals, delight our eyes.

Educator:

let's describe the rowan. Tell me, what is she like? (Children describe rowan).

- You can argue about which of the trees is nicer and more beautiful to the human eye: either a slender birch, or a sunny ash or a majestic oak, or maybe pyramids of eternally emerald firs? But only one thing is certain: many people like the beautiful rowan tree, with openwork leaves and a necklace of orange fruits. People love her. It’s hard to look at it enough: in the summer, snow-white shields of flowers sparkle between the lacy foliage, and in the fall, when the branches bend under the weight of bright orange fruits, the beautiful mountain ash becomes even more elegant. Its fruits linger on the branches for a long time and even remain for the winter, standing out brightly among the snow-covered forest.

Showing a bunch of rowan berries. Questions for children:

-What are these red beads? (Bunches of rowan).

- What kind of berries do rowan berries have? (Red, round, beautiful).

Reading Sukhomlinsky's story "The Bird's Pantry".

In early autumn, the chirping of birds did not cease in the steppe. The birds flew to the field and pecked the grain. Rowan stood at the edge of the forest. The berries hung on it in red clusters. She stands there and wonders why the birds don’t fly to her. Drozd and Rowan flew and asked him:

- Drozd, why don’t you want to try my berries?

- Wait, Rowan, your berries will come in handy in difficult times. On your branches there is a bird's pantry.

- Treat us, Rowan, with your berries.

- Why was Rowan surprised?

- What conversation took place between Rowan and Drozd?

- Why did Drozd call Rowan a bird's pantry?

- Who likes to eat its berries? (Children's answers).

Educator:

Since ancient times, it has been customary for people to plant rowan trees under the windows of homes, in front gardens and parks as a sign of memorable events, for the happiness of people, for the joy of birds. Blackbirds, bullfinches, waxwings, black grouse, wood grouse, and jays especially like to feast on rowan fruits. Birds eat only rowan fruits, but animals, in addition to fruits, eat leaves, buds, and young shoots of rowan. There are a lot of vitamins in them. Foresters know about this and therefore, in the summer, they prepare brooms from rowan branches: in a hungry winter, forest animals will treat themselves to them with great pleasure.

Didactic game “Who is the mountain ash friends with?”

Goal: to form in children an understanding of those animals that rowan helps to survive in the cold winter.

- Rowan, rowan, who did you love? (hug yourself, tilt to the right).

- I loved everyone, I pleased everyone, (hug yourself, tilt to the left).

— I treated everyone to ripe berries. (we hold out our hands).

- Pick a berry, help yourself too. (raise our hands to the top).

Educator:

Rowan fruits are harvested after the first frost, when they acquire a bitter and sour taste. Fresh fruits are a little bitter, but when caught by the first frost, they lose their bitterness, become less tart and acquire a pleasant sour taste. Rowan berries contain a large amount of vitamins. Since ancient times, people have noticed the healing power of rowan and began to use it to treat diseases. Delicacies and drinks are prepared from the berries, and tea is made from the flowers. The benefits of rowan are great. Furniture and musical wind instruments are made from rowan wood. It is a fruit plant, a fodder plant, a medicinal plant, and a melliferous plant. She is both a beauty and a protector of soils.

Rowan tree

Rowan is a tree that never grows tall (more than 10 m). There are just over 100 species of rowan, about 30 of which can be found in Russia. This tree is widespread in European countries, lives in North America, and also grows in Asia. Such a large habitat of the plant is due to the fact that rowan is not at all afraid of frost; it can grow on any soil. It even “climbs” into the mountains, but there it grows in the form of a bush. It is also not afraid of close-lying groundwater, which for most trees is an unsuitable factor for good growth.

Because of this unpretentiousness to climatic conditions, this tree can be used in gardening as a rootstock: used as a mother plant, grafting a quince or pear onto the rowan trunk. The so-called chokeberry is not a rowan, it is a different tree, although from the same family - Rosaceae.

Rowan is easily recognized by its leaves, which have from 11 to 23 leaflets. Young, just blossomed, they are a little “fluffy”, then they become naked. They are green in the summer and turn orange and red as autumn approaches.

The rowan tree blooms very beautifully. Its small flowers form very dense inflorescences located at the ends of the branches. The smell is quite specific, not everyone likes it, but insects pollinate the tree well. Rowan is a valuable honey plant.

After flowering, characteristic fruits are formed on the tree, similar to peas or beads, their diameter is about 1 cm. It is more correct to call them apples, since the tree belongs to the apple group. The fruits are bright red or deep orange, collected in clusters, each containing seeds.

Rowan fruits are rich in sugars, vitamins, especially ascorbic acid, and carotene. Therefore, the fruits of the tree can be used to treat scurvy. They also contain antiseptic substances (sorbic acid). The fruits are eaten, prepared as tinctures, made into jam, dried and even pickled. While they are fresh, they taste very bitter. But when the first frosts come, it disappears, the bitter substances of the fruit are destroyed.

Trees are often planted for decorative purposes. Wood can be used to make carpentry and jewelry. It is reddish and beautiful, it is well processed, painted, and easy to carve.

Rowan fruits do not fall in the winter, so they are an important food supply for wintering birds. They can also be fed to poultry.

The ancient Scandinavians and Celts, as well as the Slavs, considered rowan a magical tree and used it in their rituals. Rowan has long been used in folk omens. So, if there are a lot of fruits on the trees, then the autumn months will be rainy.

About nature for children: Rowan

Bright clusters of rowan berries attract the attention of children both in autumn and winter. “Mom, what kind of berries are these? Can I try them? Are they tasty? Why are they hanging here?”

Then we’ll talk a little about this tree and learn a lot of new things about it, so we can tell our whys later.

It is interesting that rowan fruits, which we used to call berries, are actually, from a botanical point of view, apples.

Rowan grows in gardens, forests, parks and squares - from the far north to the middle zone of the northern hemisphere, and all because it is not afraid of any frost.

Is it possible to eat rowan fruits, and is there any benefit from them?

The healing properties of rowan berries have been known for a very long time and a lot, however, official medicine is in no hurry to use it for the manufacture of medicines. So, there is not a single medicine based on rowan.

People said about rowan: everything is the same, both bread and rowan: both are sour. And of course, for good reason, because in order to take an honorable place next to bread in folklore, it is necessary to have amazing properties. What's the secret?

Rowan berries are very rich in vitamins C, A, PP, B1, B2, E, K, iron, copper, manganese, iodine, zinc, potassium, magnesium.

In ancient times, in Rus', rowan branches decorated tables. They were served drenched in honey or sugar syrup; the rowan berries were fermented and dried. Today in cooking they are used to make jams, preserves, sauces, and jelly.

When fresh, the berries have a sour-bitter taste and are unlikely to be liked by anyone. The bitterness of the berries disappears somewhat after frost, which is when it is recommended to collect rowan berries to prepare something from them. This is explained by the fact that the substance that causes bitterness (amygdalin) is destroyed by frost and rowan becomes harmless for consumption.

Rowan fruits are of great benefit to birds, in fact, being the most accessible food in winter.

Very often the image of rowan can be seen in the folk art of the Slavs, Scandinavians, Celts, what is this connected with?

The thing is that since pagan times, people have endowed rowan with magical powers that could protect against evil spirits and witchcraft. It was not customary to joke with rowan; they always treated it seriously and respectfully.

At first, rowan branches were sewn onto clothes, trying to protect oneself from the evil eye, then they began to embroider the image of a rowan branch on clothes. Later, the image of rowan appears in folk crafts, for example, in Khokhloma painting.

After talking with your child, invite him to draw bunches of rowan berries or make a craft out of them.

Give the kids riddles:

I look out my window, I see one tree. The red clusters are hanging, the birds want to eat them. (Rowan)

- What does winter do for mountain ash? (Covers it with white snow and invites birds to eat berries)

— People say “Rowan is an adornment of our nature.” Let's ask the mountain ash why it is called that.

Rowan: Because I am endowed with magical powers. A branch with bright red berries can protect a person from any disaster. My tree also helps the sick. Medicinal tea is brewed from the branches. The berries are used to make jam, compotes, kvass, and tinctures.

Educator: Yes, rowan has many properties, in particular, predicting the weather with the help of signs. What signs do you know?

Didactic game “Continue the sign”

Educator: But in winter, unlike some trees, rowan has a lot of work. She needs to feed all the hungry birds. In winter, it is difficult for birds to get food. And this is where rowan berries come in handy. Tits, blackbirds, bullfinches and other wintering birds flock to the feast. That's why rowan is called a bird tree. In the forest, not only birds eat fruits, but also animals: squirrels, wild boars, martens.

Reading Sukhomlinsky's story “The Bird's Pantry”
