We have been learning about planting and growing in the local area and went on a welly walk around some of the gardens of New Radnor with the kind invitation of the garden owners. It was interesting to see what each garden had to offer.

Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne had the opportunity to harvest some of the crops we have been growing in our class garden. We washed the lettuce and then made some tasty salad sandwiches to eat… yum yum!

We went to Severn Valley Country Park, first we had a look at the map. Then we went to the meadow to try and catch mini beasts with nets. Then we went to the woods and pulled apart the log piles to look for mini beasts.

We had lunch then went to the pond and tried to catch fish and mini beasts. My favourite bit was pond dipping.

We have been very lucky to have Heather in today telling us all about her job role as a beekeeper and answering lots of our questions about bees and honey. We even got to taste some honey from Heather’s bees…. yum yum!

We have been learning about seed germination and have carried out an experiment to explore this over the last few weeks. We made predictions, observations and communicated our findings.

This week we have been busy on a minibeast hunt as part of our maths lesson on collecting data. We managed to find a range of minibeasts hiding and made a tally of these to plot onto a graph and answer questions on.

We have been learning about Andy Warhol and have created some minibeast prints based on his work.
