« Friday Letter | Main | Seasonable Soup in Class Six! »
Today Reception class have enjoyed the snow at the Country Park. We went there to help us with our topic on nocturnal animals and animal shelters.
We started our trip by walking into the woods looking for animal tracks. We were given a card that showed us lots of different kinds of animal tracks. Can you guess what made these tracks?
If you can't guess what animal made these tracks then you can ask someone in Reception because they know!
When we were in the woods we found other signs that animals have been there. Don't look any further if you are a little bit squeemish!
Can you tell which animal left this lovely present?
We learned how important it is for animals to use their ears in the wild so they can hear if predators are coming. We put on blind folds and used our ears to see how many different sounds we could hear. We were all very good at this so Fiona, the park warden let us do a trail blind folded. We were good at this too.
Some of us tried peeking under the blind fold - but that just spoiled the fun so they quickly put them back on.
To finish our trip in the woods we built some animal shelters using the natural materials we could find around us.
By this time we were all freezing so we went back to the room for our lunch. We really felt we had earned our yummy packed lunches.
