Hopeful for some spring sunshine and warmth we thought you might like to explore the challenges on Outdoor Learning Grid 1 to learn about worms, create a nest and investigate the rainbow spectrum of colours.
Capture your learning in your journal or sway and leave a COMMENT to let us know what you have been learning to do. Help everyone to feel connected and that we are learning together.

When you come back indoors:
Mild challengers might like to sit and listen to ‘Superworm’ by Julia Donaldson. Worms are superheroes in our gardens. Can you find out why?
Spicy challengers might like to sit and listen to ‘Yucky Worms’ by Vivian French. You could turn the sound off and read the book independently by pausing the clip at the right time for you. List the facts you learn from the story in your journal or sway.
Hot challengers, older children might like to watch the Springwatch documentary about earthworms which includes information about their importance, varieties. predators, how they reproduce and how to investigate them. Creating a mindmap would help you to summarise the main points in your learning journal or sway.
We were doing a bit of this at the weekend …..only on a slightly larger scale …
shall post some photos if i get chance
Good morning, this sounds great Annabelle.
That will be great to see Annabelle. Are you going to put them in a sway to share ?
I’m going to give my best shot. I have a bush outside so I will collect the materials for the nest. Good Morning.
Brilliant Greig, we look forward to finding out how you get on. Thank you for commenting.
Well done Grieg- remember to let us see what you’ve created.
i will try to do this experiment with the rainbow when it brightens up as its a bit cloudy in Methlick.
We have been collecting sticks for the fire pit so will do some nest creating and make some shapes with them before we do our outdoor cooking experience . Sienna & Sol
Hello, Sienna and Sol, how are you both? That sounds fun. I look forward to seeing photos of all your activities.
We are good thank you , we really enjoyed our challenge and uploaded the photos to sway.
Good morning, Sienna and Sol – that’s good to know. Glad you enjoyed the challenge.
Have fun Sienna and Sol, we made jacket potatoes, sausages and campfire bread on our fire last week.
We have made a bird feeder using the milk cartons. So far we haven’t seen many birds in the garden. But it might be the dogs being in the garden so much.
Will try and get a picture up.
Fantastic work Charley. I heard the birds were struggling for food at this time so well done to you.
