Doves braved the rain to conduct some Rock experiments. We used lots of different rock types and tested them for durability. We also learnt that sandpaper is not very good at withstanding the rain! But we looked super in our red ponchos!
Then we had a quick splash in the puddles.
Magic and Mayhem with Eagles.
Making magic potions as part of our Literacy learning. As well as a sneaky little measurement maths lesson.
Eagles have been linking their Outdoor Learning to their Science topic for the term - PLANTS.
We spent lots of time investigating all kind of plants. We used Bud Identifier sheets to name different trees, we found lots of sprouting bulbs and germinating seeds.
We also found some ladybirds hibernating!
Puffins have been working on their scientific enquiry skills. We have been investigating signs of seasonal change. We have been thinking about our environment and went on a litter pick. We talked alot about the importance of putting our rubbish in the bin, and the danger litter can cause to wildlife. And we had a go at worm charming!
Doves creating their names and facts about themselves using Egyptian Hieroglyphics. They wrote their names and then designed them using natural resources and loose parts.
Kingfishers had a turn at building Aquaducts in their first Outdoor Learning session. This followed their History topic of the Ancient Egyptians. They had an amazing time working together to build a successful watering system.
Penguins have continued to work on their Ecology Project. They have been investigating the habitats around school, comparing areas and the difference in visible wildlife. We have also made our own seed bombs and scattered them on the field to help encourage more insect life to help our biodiversity.
