Year 1 are supporting the wildlife trusts #30dayswild campaign. We will be getting outside every day and using our fantastic school grounds. Yesterday we went out in the meadow and noticed the beautiful wild flowers growing, the bees and also found something called 'Cuckoo spit'.
This is caused by froghopper nymphs that live inside this froth that are found on plant stems in the spring.
Today we went in to the woods. We listened to the birds in the trees and had a go at climbing some of the trees. We discussed the importance of only doing this with an adult near by and not going to high!
We have also been watching clips of 'Wild academy' which is the child version of Springwatch. If you have missed these you can catch the episodes on BBC iplayer. These are fascinating and cover a range of wildlife. Today we learnt about the different cameras watching the different nests and looked at foxes.
The children have loved getting outside and it has helped to get them focus on their learning.
