Reception and Lower School thoroughly enjoyed taking part in Wild Workshops this term. They carefully explored earth from the woodland floor and found snails, slugs, woodlice, millipedes and centipedes which they looked at closely through magnifying equipment. They learnt how sharp a fox's teeth are and enjoyed seeing lots of close up images of skulls and bones via the digital microscope. They learnt all about toads, and many children were brave enough to hold some five week oldmice!
