Year 3 become Ecologists


Year 3 have been enjoying their new science topic on the environment & evolution.
They have been investigating natural selection & survival of the fittest in our very own school forest.
Last week, the children loved working in two teams, one team hiding some 'peppered moths' in the forest and the other team finding them.

 
'We found more light moths as the dark ones camouflaged better within the trees' said Charlotte.
This week we were looking at Charles Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest.
Acting as a giraffe, Aniyah was able to catch the most wiggly worms from a tall tree as she was best suited to the environment.

I still managed to catch lots of wiggly worms even though i was the smallest. I was able to pull the branches down with my hands to get the worms. Said Taylor.

 
The children are enjoying their outdoor learning and are already excited for their next lesson next week!
