Cross Fell's trip to the wetlands
We were fortunate enough to enjoy a visit to Aglionby wetlands this week where we took part in a range of activities to enhance our learning of our Science topic. We loved getting out and about in a range of habitats to take part in a scavenger hunt and were amazed to find the large variety of creatures living there. A huge thankyou to the team from Susan’s Farm for hosting us and delivering such an exciting and informative range of activities that we could enjoy despite the challenges of the weather! We can’t wait to arrange a return visit.
