Today we made full use of National Outdoor Learning Day.\u00a0 Bright and early, we headed up to Dunskey Woods to take part in a range of learning activities across the curriculum.<\/p>\n

Observational Zones – Maths & Science<\/strong><\/p>\n

First on the agenda was a combined maths and science challenge.\u00a0 The children used a metre stick to find a natural stick of equivalent length.\u00a0 We then used that stick as a measure to locate 3\u00a0 more.\u00a0 We formed a metre square area with our sticks as boundary markers.\u00a0 We then observed the natural objects that were present in our study zone.\u00a0 There was a wide variety of items; from pine needles to leaves and\u00a0 larvae to beetles.\u00a0 The class created a tally chart of the objects they observed in each group zone.\u00a0 Finally, we used digital technology to present our data as a bar graph to interpret our results more readily.<\/p>\n
