Summer term began with an exciting adventure for the Year 4 children. We enjoyed going on our brilliant school trip to Magdalene Farm Environmental Trust. Here we got to explore in the river Axe. We caught living things from the river bed and used classification keys to work out what they were. We measured lots of other information from the river as well such as the width, depth and speed. We all enjoyed the chance to carry out this field work, and learned what happens when we go into water that is deeper than our wellies… As well as this, we learnt more about habitats and food chains by playing games and completing different activities. The children behaved impeccably and the practitioners we worked with made a point of telling us how polite they were, and they were very impressed with their knowledge of habitats and features of rivers.
