Half Term Activity Morning

Friday, May 29th 2015

Ten children joined us this morning despite the rain for our Half Term Activities. First we headed off to the pond dipping platforms where we discovered what animals live hidden in the depths of the Foxglove ponds. Great Diving Beetle larvae, Tadpoles and large Stickleback were amongst the finds.

We then headed to the outdoor classroom where, using the examples nearby, we learned about the different ways to help wildlife in gardens by building log piles, bug hotels and hanging nest boxes. The children unearthed a multitude of bugs and beasties as we looked under the logs learning how many of these creatures recycle nutrients into the soil, playing an important part in the food chain.
