Stonebroom Primary And Nursery School

This morning we visited forest school as part of our Science work at seasons! We wanted to find more out about Winter. First we visited the animal park where we interacted with the animals and discussed how they are cared for in Winter. We found out that the animals grow more hair and feathers in Winter to keep them warm. Miss Thompson also told us that animals were harder to look after in Winter and told us about the water freezing last week. After the animals, we went on a woodland walk. We noticed the trees were bare, there were drays (squirrel's nests) in the trees and we found various bugs and insects using the leaves on the floor as a blanket. We even found insects nestled away in logs. We stopped at the stream and played pooh sticks! Finally, we explored the pond area and discussed why there were no tadpoles. We felt the water and it was very cold but we enjoyed making wet, cold handprints! We had lots of fun exploring and will be using our findings in our Science lesson tomorrow. Thank you Miss Thompson and Marg for a wonderful session!
