On Thursday 25th, Cherry Class were visited by Paula, one of the Education Team at the Ashdown Forest Centre, enhancing further the children’s scientific learning of what makes an animals unique? The class had the opportunity to come face to face with some of the animals of the forest, asking questions about the local wildlife and learning more about why these animals are unique.
Cherry Class also learnt about a really special bird, the Night Jar:
- it is a rare bird,
- that is nocturnal and
- makes its’ nest on the ground.
William volunteered to dress up as a Night Jar to help the others see the unique characteristics of this special bird.
To conclude, the class had a go at creating their own night jars using oil pastels.
We are really grateful to The Ashdown Forest Centre for providing this visit completely free of charge.
