Year 5 - Martin Mere Trip4 March 2025 (by Daniel Campbell (Daniel Campbell)) |
On Monday, our Year 5 class visited Martin Mere for a fascinating day of hands-on learning.
The day began with a water cycle demonstration, exploring how clouds form and how pollution affects water systems. A guided tour of the wetland park followed, ending with them watching an engaging otter-feeding session where the keeper shared insights about their habitat and behaviour.
After designing and creating their own souvenir badges, the children had lunch before taking part in pond dipping, discovering insects, larvae, nymphs, and even newt tadpoles! Using magnifiers and a TV screen, they examined their finds before sketching different life cycle stages. The class behaved wonderfully and left with a deeper understanding of wetlands and their vital role in nature.
Well done Year 5 – you were amazing! (more photos on our class webpage)
