5th July 2018A Stelling
In conjunction with our science topic on habitats, Year 4 children paid a visit to West Boldon Lodge for a day of fun filled activities including: pond dipping, butterfly scavenging and mini beast hunting in three different environments.
The children had an amazing day in which they could use their new found knowledge to good use. Many children found species of creatures from all three areas that they had not seen before and learnt many valuable facts as a result.
With the weather being in our favour, a great day enjoying the out of doors was had by all and to complete the day, the staff from West Boldon Lodge commented on how well behaved and polite our children were. A great end to a super day!
