Trip to Monkton Nature Reserve

Our EYFS and KS1 children had a fantastic day exploring the wonders of nature at Monkton Nature Reserve!

As part of our learning about explorers and the colours found in nature, we enjoyed an exciting explorer trail, discovering what was around us and looking closely at the natural world. We got creative by making our own wind catchers and using colourful berries to paint beautiful natural pictures.

There was plenty more to discover, too! We drew insects in resin, explored different animals' skulls and learned more about the wildlife that lives around us.

It was a fun-filled day of exploring, discovering and getting creative, with lots of new things to see and learn.

A huge thank you to Anna at Monkton Nature Reserve for leading such a fantastic session and making our visit so enjoyable. We had a brilliant time!
