Year 2 Go Back to the Woods

Posted: 16th January 2025

 

Year 2 went back to the woods this week as they identified tracks and signs of animal life, which will be the evidence they need to complete the first of six activities for the Elmhurst RSPB Wild Challenge Bronze award.

Pupils gained an understanding of how to detect animal life in the woods, looking for signs and finding some significant clues including feathers, squirrel’s drays, tree holes, habitat piles, a fox hole and a large badger sett where there were some clear footprints. They were able check the animal tracker tray which had been left out overnight and make direct plaster casts of some of the footprints around the sett which we could then compare with our animal tracks sheet.

 

After some games in the woods and a rendition of the Robert Macfarlane poem ‘Woodpecker’ it was back to base camp for some well-earned hot chocolate.
