Year 3 had a brilliant time celebrating Earth Day outdoors! 🌍🌿
We took our numeracy outside and had lots of fun measuring using handspans and feet—but quickly realised these aren’t always the most accurate! 🤔 We then used a metre stick to explore our Forest School area, hunting for things that were longer and shorter than a metre 📏🌳
Next, the children worked in teams on a challenge inspired by Jim and the Beanstalk. Using only natural materials, they had to create something for the giant that was over 1 metre long. The results were amazing—a giant book 📚, spaghetti 🍝 and even a coat! There was fantastic teamwork, creativity and problem-solving all round.
Before heading home, we had a peek in the pond and were so excited to spot some tiny tadpoles 🐸💧! We chatted about the life cycle of a frog and can’t wait to check back in on them over the next few weeks.
A fun-filled day of exploring, learning and getting stuck into nature! 🌱
“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” 🌍✨
