Month: March 2017

Last  week there was a bit of trouble happening down in Fairy Kingdom!

We got a letter explaining that the evil wizard had put a spell on Fairy Kingdom and taken all of their power and they needed our help getting it back.

The only way we could get the power back was by making a power potion for them! But there were a lot of very mystical ingredients.

 

After we had collected all the ingredients for the potion we mixed it in a beaker and left it for the fairies and elves …

 

When we got back to school there was a thank you letter waiting for us in the tadpole tank! We had done it! The fairies had got their power back, phew!

But we still don’t know what the key is for? Maybe we will find out soon.

We had all our equipment, we were ready to be animal detectives…

Mr Kern had kindly offered to come and help be our animal guide this morning so as we trudged down we asked him every animal question we could possibly think of.

We got into our groups and set off to see what we could find…

 

We saw lots of mole hills.

 

We found some poo and decided it must belong to a rabbit. Charlie crushed it up to see if he could work out what the rabbit had been eating.

 

 

 

Two frogs came to say hello. They were hiding in the damp leaves next to the pond.

 

     

One of the most exciting places to look was underneath logs. You have got to be quick though, before they all scamper away!

 

We had great adventures hunting for animals…

 

 but it was quite a tiring morning for some!

Spring Officially started on the 20th March, but we headed into the woods before then to see what signs of spring were already there!

We looked carefully at branches and saw that buds had started to grow.

Catkins hung from the trees, Ryan thought they looked like caterpillars.

We saw daffodils in lots of places. Seeing daffodils really brightened up our day! Sam and Theo even gave us a plant for the classroom. Thank you!

We got to Fishponds Wood quite early and found that dew was still on the ground. Eliza thought the dew made the grass sparkle.

We found many more signs of spring, I think our favourite was hearing the woodpecker tapping as we arrived at the woods. We couldn’t see it but we sure heard it! 

After our snack we each had a Spring poem that we had to share with the class. The sun shone so we all took off our coats as we performed the poems. It really did feel like spring was on its way!
