Yesterday we were leaf detectives! We found lots of leaves and we looked at them closely. We identified which trees they were from. We found leaves from oak, sycamore, birch, ash and rowan trees. In the afternoon we did some leave rubbings and sketching. We found out that leaves have veins.
Today, we learnt about how animals hibernate during the winter. We played a game where we had to 'squirral' acorns away for the winter... then we had to find them again!
To help feed the birds during the winter, we made bird feeders to hang in the school grounds. We mixed up lard, nuts and seeds. Then we spooned the mixture into a plastic bottle. Look out for them around school!
