Year 5 Trip to Cannock Chase (Apr 25)

🌿Year 5 had an exciting and educational visit to Cannock Chase, where they carried out fieldwork focused on exploring ecosystems.

🌳The children investigated the natural environment by identifying different types of trees, plants, and animals, and searching for evidence of wildlife in the area.

🍃As part of their scientific observations, they created bark and leaf rubbings, produced detailed sketches of what they saw, and even measured the circumference of tree trunks to estimate their age.

📋They also conducted surveys, counting how many of certain items or animals could be found in different areas. It was a fantastic hands-on learning experience that brought their classroom work to life in the heart of nature.
