Yesterday was our trip to the Wetlands centre in Barnes as part of our science topic on plants and growing.
It was a very hot day and I was pleased that we managed to get water bottles and hats for every child. In this weather it is an essential for our children! Please remember this for our sports day tomorrow as it is not safe to take them out of school without a sun hat and a water bottle. We simply don't have spares so please make sure your child has them!
It was a lovely trip and we enjoyed pond dipping. We discovered lots of different insects - some of them were so small we needed a magnifying glass to see them. We also had lots of fun in the explorer section - some children got very wet! Just what we needed to cool down.
There were lots of ducks around - we especially enjoyed watching the baby ones play in the water. We also got very excited when they came out of the water and walked along the path beside us!
Ask your child what they learnt yesterday. We will be writing a postcard to Barnaby Bear about our adventures which your child will be bringing home soon so question them then!
Another small reminder - school packed lunches are always the sun - cheese and tuna so if you know your child does not like these sandwich fillings please make sure they have a home packed lunch.
