Nest building and pond dipping!

We spent this afternoon building nests in our quiet area and pond dipping in our school pond.

We used materials from the floor to build our nests. These included twigs, branches, leaves and sticky weed to make our nest, we tested them using pebbles, and finally put them in a tree for a bird to use!


 

 
 

We are very lucky to have a pond at Roydon School and we have been busy observing pond life. We found water boatmen, newts, tadpoles, woodlice, centipedes and worms. We used nets, view finders, magnifying glasses, trays and spoons to study the creatures we found. Each creature was looked at very carefully and we made sure we returned them all to their habitat. Take a look at our photos!
