St Augustine’s are looking forward to a 2 Day Event to Launch our Biodiversity work. Lots of fun activities are planned to help children with their learning.
Pupils will be learning how living things depend on each other and also how they can play their part in caring for nature.

Create a Habitat – P1-3 will be making a Wormery, this will help the children understand what job worms do and how important they are in a garden. P4-7 will be making a Bug Mansion which will attract beneficial insects and other creatures into our garden, helping our fruit, veg and flowers to grow.

Nature Trail – Children will do some orienteering here when they have to find and explore habitats on given photographs. P1-3 will mark their findings on a hunt sheet. P4-7 will mark their finding on a birds eye view map of our school.

Species Hunt – Children will use magnifying glasses, bug catchers and our school easi scope to explore living things. They will also be learning where these living things are on a food chain.

Gardening – Thanks to our parent helpers we hope to take our gardening to the next level, this year we are going to grow a wide variety of plants, fruit and vegetables. Children will enjoy weeding planting, digging and learning how to care for plants. We will soon have our very own greenhouse and garden shed all of which will help us on our Seed to Plate and Grow Your Own Journey.
Lots to look forward to!
Look out for photos of all activities this week.
