Teambuilding and learning
On Tuesday the Lions and Leopards set forth on an intrepid expedition to Rushall Farm. The weather was kind to us and there was even a glorious ray of sunshine for our lunchtime kickabout. In the morning we took a tractor ride through the woods, fed (and even cuddled) the chickens and gobbled at the turkeys. Did you know that turkeys are fair weather friends and they had ventured outside to bask in the sunshine! The boys also found out that cows are stubborn animals and like to stand in the way of ambling small boys.
Lunch, as ever, was extremely popular. After an unleashing of energy in the meadow, the boys settled down to find out all about the buzzy life of a bee and dip in the pond. One hapless newt was snared in a net as well as numerous water boatmen and dragonfly nymphs.
The trip served to enhance our Science through active learning opportunities and also to cement the Year Two team!
