The whole school had a fabulous day at Logan Gardens on the 27th of April. First, we all enjoyed a social picnic on the garden lawns. We got to observe the friendly coy carp in the pond who came up to say hello to everyone.
Class 2 worked with Kath to use their observation and mapping skills to create 3D mapping of the area using natural resources. They also applied their maths skills to use compass points and coordinates to navigate around the gardens. Later they were given the option of either being scientists or artists by surveying their surroundings and recording their findings on a scaled location line.
Class 1 enjoyed a nature walk with Kath before taking part in a texture treasure hunt. The children created beautiful collages using foraged natural materials. Then followed an experience of using magnifiers and microscopes to observe plants up close. The group then created their own 3D map of an area of the garden using natural materials to represent the landscape, plants and flowers all around them.
The sun shone for the whole session and everyone had a great time!
