Grounds Week - Newts Class

On Monday we went on a weather walk and we used our senses to describe an Autumn day. We heard birds tweeting, we saw spooky spider webs and smelt damp soggy mud. 

 In Science we learnt about Deciduous and Evergreen trees. We discovered that Moorlands School has got many Oak and Sycamore trees.

 We pretended we were hibernating squirrels. We needed to find as many acorns as possible so that we could survive throughout the Winter months.

Birds need extra food for the Winter, so we decided to make bird feeders.

We spent a long time planning our dinosaur den with our team. It was a challenging task trying to make sure that it was strong and water/ wind resistant.
