Primary 1 – 4 combined wildlife observation with maths today as part of outdoor learning. The boys and girls went down to our village beach and to the park to create tally charts on the mini-beasts they could spot in our local environment. The children learned how to use the conventions of tallies to record how many of each species of mini-beast they spotted.
In addition, as part of our RSPB Wild Challenges they carried out a Spot It! activity to see how many tracks and signs they could see around them. There were snail trails, cobwebs, animal droppings and feathers. The children managed to spot shells and a live crab too.
