Year 1 and Year 4 joined together for a Mini-Beast Workshop to support their learning in Science. They enjoyed a mini-beast hunt, identifying the creatures they had found and learning more about them. They were even able to make replica invertebrate fossils!
The children had a wonderful time at Broomhill Park, and were thrilled to be out of the classroom! The experience helped expand their prior knowledge around our 'growing' topic. Aside from exploring signs of spring, they enjoyed looking over at Rochester and catching a glimpse of Rochester Cathedral and the River Medway. Some other highlights included finding red ants during their walk, discovering snowdrop plants in George's Garden, and walking up the big hill.
