How lucky were we yesterday with the weather!
Madagascar went to Raphael Park for an outdoor Science lesson in the Spring sunshine.
The children looked at how animals adapt to their habitat and managed to see some wildlife up close.
After classifying a range of animals and discussing their habitats the children were able to explore different areas around the park. The children fed oats to the different species of birds and learnt how important it is not to feed them bread. They looked at how the birds have adapted to living on water by looking closely at their webbed feet and waterproof feathers.
Following the feeding came the pond dipping and bug hunting in the bug hotel. They caught and examined some of the bugs and then placed them back carefully into their habitats.
"My favourite part of the day was getting close to the birds and feeding them."

After our fun workshop we had lunch and enjoyed the adventure park.
Fun was had by all!
