RSPB Visit

-


This week we were lucky enough to have a visit from the RSPB (Royal society for the protection of birds). 


We enjoyed an assembly where we learnt about different species of birds and then we went outside to explore nature within our school grounds. We used a tally system when looking for different things that affect habitats within our outdoor spaces. We realised that we need more log piles so creepy crawlies have another place to live!


Here are some of our pictures, you can tell from our smiles that we were really enjoying this outdoor learning experience.

What a fantastic morning we had in Year 2 today (18.1.19). Jon from the  Royal National Lifeboat Institution came to visit us and he taught us all about water safety. We had an assembly in the morning with Reception and Year 1. During this time Jon showed us some amazing rescue videos and we were very impressed. Most of the people working on the lifeboats are volunteers, amazing! Ashley dressed up as one of the crew members to show everyone what they would wear on a rescue mission.    A little bit later on Jon came to our classroom and talked to us about keeping ourselves safe at the seaside.

Year 2 had the most fantastic time at Wild Place yesterday! We have been excited for weeks and couldn't believe the day had finally arrived.  W hen we arrived we went on a walk through the woods looking for animals. We came across an obstacle course which was great fun! The first animals we saw were the Gelada monkeys. They had amazing fur and liked to sit on rocks.   Next we saw the Cheetahs. We stayed absolutely silent and the cheetah's started prowling towards us. All 3 of them came right up to us, it was an incredible experience! We couldn't believe our eyes or luck!! We explored an African village and saw many African animals.  We learnt all about African animals and the reasons why some of them unfortunately are endangered. This linked with our topic this term.   After we had eaten our delicious lunches we went on a barefoot walk. We walked across many different materials without any shoes on, the parents a...
