We have been enjoying lots of outdoor learning opportunities recently:

First we worked with a partner to create an apple and sunflower seed bird feeder.

Then we found a good spot to hang it on the tree to hopefully attract some birds. 

Secondly we worked as part of a team to build an interesting den. We spoke about what skills we used such as creativity, problem solving, communication and team work.

Lastly we took our learning outside for a science challenge. We have been learning about different types of energy. We learned about heat energy and that you can measure how hot something is using a thermometer. In groups we each had a bowl of water at 50 Degrees Celsius and were challenge to use ice and cold water to cool it down to a steady 25 Degrees Celsius. It had to stay at that temperature for at  least 1 minute so we had to be careful not to add in all of the ice at once.
