As part of our Year 4 Science topic, Animals and Their Habitats, we have been taking part in a 'weekly wander' around the school grounds.

During these sessions, the children have been observing and identifying a variety of plants and animals, carefully recording what they find and noting how habitats change. It has been wonderful to see their curiosity grow as they explore the natural world around them.

The children have particularly enjoyed using the reference books from our reading corner to help identify any unfamiliar plants, developing both their scientific enquiry skills and their research abilities.

We’re looking forward to seeing how our habitats continue to change as the seasons progress! 🌿🐞
