Year 4/5 last week visited St. Joseph’s School in Horwich.  We were welcomed by the friendly teaching staff in the Science department.

To continue our topic work on water we were invited into the school’s nature garden.  We were set a wildlife challenge and had to hunt for the answers working in teams!

The highlight of the visit for many of us was the pond dipping.  We were provided with nets and took turns to discover which pond life we could find.

We found many different creatures…

We then brought our findings into Science laboratory to investigate further.  We used magnifying glasses and microscopes to look at our findings in more detail….

Thank you to everyone at St. Joseph’s School for making us so welcome!
