Plants and Trip Day for Glow Worms!

This week, we had our trip to Warminster Park. The children loved the train journey and were very excited to get on it. When we arrived at the park, we did a scavenger hunt where we looked for the tallest tree, some bark, a spiky plant, trees with and without leaves and a smooth leaf. Then, we met with a park ranger to scatter some wild flower seeds, each child had a chance to cover the soil before it was raked over. The flower beds will certainly look beautiful in the summer! The children had lunch in the bandstand before having a play in the park. Finally, we had a walk around the park for the tree hunt. We definitely had lots of walking to do but the children did amazingly well and did the school proud.

In science, we have started a new topic of plants. The children looked at what plants need to grow healthily before we planted bean seeds in a bag. We will be able to watch it grow in the next few weeks and notice how it changes. Then, later in the week, the children learned about garden and wild plants. They looked around the school for pictures of different plants and identified whether they were garden or wild plants, some we found tricky because they could be both!

Note:

Mrs Clifford will be in Glow Worm class on Wednesday.

The Easter church service is on Friday. We are still looking for 2 more volunteers to help walk the class to the church. Please let Miss McMillan know if you can help!
