• Trip to Bankwood Farm

  Tue 21 Nov 2023

  Class 1 children had a wonderful afternoon at Bankwood Farm, Appleby, learning all about habitats.  They began by colouring in an animal mask.  They then classified their animals into groups, looking at the similarities and differences between them.  This was followed by a trip to the woods to discover the plants and animals that make their home in the woods. After careful observations using magnifying glasses, the children then made their own ‘bug hotel’ to take home.  They also made a bird feeder using pine cones, lard, nuts and seeds.  The afternoon was completed with a story.  

  

• Life in Africa

  Mon 20 Nov 2023

  The children in Class 1 thoroughly enjoyed a visit to school from Peter Nutsford, who told them all about life in Kenya. Through lots of wonderful photos and video clips which he has taken whilst living in Africa, the children were able to learn all about African herbivores, omnivores and carnivores. They were then able to compare life for a child in rural Kenya with their own lives. They enjoyed talking about the many similarities and differences between life in a village school in Kenya and life at Asby Endowed School.
