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.

Astronaut training

 We have had to show some of our skills during astronaut training this week, to make sure we are fit enough to fly. We will be floating around a lot in space, but have all passed that part of our training with flying colours!

We had to make sure all the count down checks were in place ...

 

 Before watching the live lift-off! Good luck Tim Peake! We gave a massive cheer - you probably heard us from space!

You can watch the launch from lots of different angles!
