This week, the
children have had an enjoyable and interesting time working in the school grounds with
Emma Stephens from the R.S.P.B. She was ably assisted by Sue Howes and our
special friend Peter Farrington.
On Tuesday,
the children explored the mini-beasts and other wildlife in the school’s
“Garden” area. They used identification sheets to find the names of lots of
different little animals.
On Friday we
ventured into the school’s pond and did some “habitat management”, which
involved clearing the pond of excess plant-life to open up a larger area of
clear water. We also had fun doing some pond-dipping and discovered lots of
aquatic life in the pond, including lots of newts.
There are lots of pictures of us working with the RSPB in the Year 3 Gallery.
