Topic

For the next two weeks our non core block is Science, we will be exploring the habitats in our local area. We will be discussing how flooding affects this area. We will go to Knowl Hill Common and use our outdoor area to find different habitats. Following this we will find out about the needs of living things within those habitats and how the habitat provides for them.

We will also be making a shelter for mini-beasts whose natural habitat has been lost through flooding.
