LET'S EXPLORE

Over the last term Year One have been outside exploring. 
To begin we had an 'Explorer Day' in our school grounds.We tested different materials and built different structures to find out which would make the best shelter.
We decided our shelters should be waterproof and strong.
When we tested them with water we found out that the plastic and the parachute materials were best at keeping us dry.
 

 
 
Then we went on a minibeast hunt to find out which creatures lived in our school grounds.  We searched in the wildlife area, under the trees and on the playground.  We found animals hiding under logs and stones and resting on leaves.
 
 
This week we went on a visit to Hillier Gardens.  We found out more about how plants grow and we saw lots of different plants.  We were fantastic at finding things that didn't belong on the trees during our treasure hunt including a dinosaur and a hairbrush!
