Yet another busy forest school day learning lots of new skills and facts…
…Do you know anything about the anatomy of a bee? We used tweezers and magnifying glasses to look at some of the dead bees, so just ask Class 6 if the answer is no!
We took on the role of scientists and conducted an experiment to see what plants and bulbs need to grow – what a great place to do this in the garden! We hope our predictions of air, water, light, warmth and soil are right.
A key word for the day was ADAPTATION….we all adapted to the cooler weather but we also learnt how insects have adapted to help them survive in their chosen habitats .
We loved making different weaving frames using card and sticks and then weaving with natural materials as well as gardening and planting bulbs.
But possibly our most favourite part of the day was making carrot and apple muffins and then getting to eat them at the end of the day!
