Wildlife photographers, nature spotters!

This week we were photographers whilst we were out and about. We are going to make our own identification charts, so needed to practice taking close-up pictures. What do you think?

After that, we went into the nest to start preparing for a woodlouse investigation. We want to find out what conditions they prefer in their habitat. We have some good ideas, that we are going to test. 

We then started to make our identification sheets, using book creator. We learned how to crop pictures to centre them and make them look better.

We had a lovely reward at the end of the day- some of the elderflower cordial we made last week! It was yummy! 

Wild flower hunt

This afternoon we have been on a wild flower hunt around the school. We found lots of flowers and plants, like poppies, campion, daisies, buttercups, forget-me-nots and many others. 

We sketched plants like the Victorians used to. 

Out and about, looking at plants

Before half term we went out and about, looking at the wild plants that can be found in the school grounds. We found loads! We looked at them very carefully.

Out and about, measuring

This morning we have been out and with a measuring challenge. We had to find it, prove it! 

Out and about - pond dipping

We really loved out and about last week when we went pond dipping. We made lots of observations, but only saw one tadpole!
