We visited Crosby Beach to look at coastal erosion.
We used sand, rocks and other bits we could find to make our own sea defences. We then tested these out.
Y3 & Y4 - Visit to Martin Mere Wetland
Date: 23rd Sep 2024 @ 7:47am
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

Oh no! When we went outside today we were shocked to find litter everywhere!
It was just like in our English text, Clem and Crab.
We worked hard to find tidy up the litter because we didn’t want any animals to get hurt.

What a fantastic day we had! Today we all got to go on a bus to Chester Zoo. We were so excited as we went over the bridge! We could see for miles. The children sang 'The Wheels on the Bus' as we drove to the zoo.
Once we got there, we couldn't wait to see some animals. We were so lucky to see a lion up close! We had a fantastic day and got to see lots of animals. Some were hidden and we had to look very carefully to see them.
We had an amazing day and our feet were very tired!

"I loved the elephants" - Emily
"My favourite was the giraffe" - Alba

The Environment Council took a visit to the Wonky Garden in Widnes.
This is a community garden who have transformed disused land into a space for all to enjoy nature.

Year 3 and 4 spent a wonderful day at Delamere forest doing lots of different things. To start the day, the children took a long walk up to Old Pale to take in the great views and what we can see in the North, South, East and West.
The rest of the day consisted of a walk around the forest, den building, sketching, natural artwork made from stones and sticks and a treasure hunt looking for different types of trees and plants.

We took part in a variety of activities including building our own sea defences, observing the effects of coastal erosion and sampling water quality.
"I learnt that when the waves hit the cliffs, they begin to erode." Ava
"I learnt that the plant's roots can help to protect from coastal erosion." Oliver
