P5/6 Leaf Printing

Today we learned a new skill : leaf printing.

We collected leaves then using a hammer and cloth we learned how to transfer the leaf print  on to the material. We are hoping to create a beautiful picture to display in class and then identify all the trees in our picture.

P5/6 Identifying Insects

Wilderness War Novel Study

The characters in our novel study love the outdoors and Noah knows the names of a wide variety of creatures in the woodland. He can identify them by sight, sound and even by what they leave behind !

Today we used our wildlfe sheets to identify minibeasts that we have collected outdoors. We sketched what we had found, looked at the size and colours and then identified the mini beast  and labelled our drawings. We think Noah would be very impressed with our skills.

 

P5/6 Den Building

We enjoyed the sunshine on Wednesday and used our design skills, working in teams to build dens. We worked together to problem solve and make our dens stay up and big enough for everyone to fit inside.  The strong breeze blowing added to this challenge!

We took shelter from the sun and used the monoculars to look at the widlife passing us by. We drew sketches in our notebooks and shared our findings back in class.
