Today Kenya class visited Rafael Park, in Romford, to learn about habitats. After classifying a range of animals and discussing their habitats the children were able to explore the different areas around the park. The area around the lake gave the children an opportunity to feed the different species of bird.
Did you know?
You should not feed the ducks and geese bread as it is not good for their digestion and it spoils the water in the lake. So the children were given oats to feed to the birds.

| Feeding the pigeons. Watch out Mrs Bishop!! |
 |
| The ducks and geese with their beautiful ducklings and goslings. Following the feeding came the pond dipping. The children carefully dipped their nets into the lake and emptied the contents into trays of water. Among the leaves and twigs the children managed to collect some tiny blood worms! |
 |
| Finally a visit to the bug hotel where woodlouse and slugs were caught and examined. Did you know? You must always put the bugs back where you found them because, as Ajus pointed out, they may have some babies there. |

The children had a thoroughly great time in this wonderful local park and they were watched over by a very inquisitive squirrel. |
