Lyme Country Park - Science Learning Walk

Lesson: Science

Class: Y1 Year: 2021 - 2022

This morning, Year 1 have been on a Science Learning Walk - even though it was slightly wet and very muddy in places a great time was had by everyone.

We learnt some of the names of the plants in the country park - such as:-

* Scots Pine 
* Hawthorne
* Gorse
* Pussy Willow

We also talked about some of the signs of 'Spring' - like the plants turning from brown and orange colours to light green.  Also, when the natural water and puddles start to reduce this is also a sign that Spring is coming.

We listened to some of the birds tweeting and singing to each other - we even saw a robin.

Before we returned to school, we stopped by one of water features in the park and saw a cormorant - it feeds on fish and frogs.

It was a very long walk (just over 2 miles) and we climbed some big hills - including Skylark Hill (although Scott The Ranger told us he calls it Scott's Hill).  We could see a long way from the top of the hill - we saw parts of Haydock and Earlestown Town Hall.

It was great fun!
