Y3 & Y4 - Visit to Martin Mere Wetland

Class: Year 3 Year: 2024 - 2025

On Thursday 19th Year 3 and Year 4 went on our first educational visit to Martin Mere Wetland.

There we found Ava, an osprey who had magically turned half human. She gave us challenges to connect with nature and learn about the wild around us. 

She also set us a challenge, to complete 10 more nature activities at home to become a 'Guardian of the Wild'.

When we returned to school, we discussed how this linked to our 'Creation & Covenant' work in RE, and that we are all stewards of God's world. That we must appreciate it, care for it and nurture it. 

So far, 3 of us have become Guardians, with many more on our way to achieve our badges. 

"I was surprised when we saw Ava, she was from our story at school" - Connie

"I really liked the activity when we made friends with a tree, we had to close our eyes and use our other senses to get to know the tree" - Ethan

"My favourite birds that I saw were the flamingos, they were all standing on one leg" - Jack
