Class 6 Explore Wood Lane Nature Reserve

Class 6 had a fantastic day at Wood Lane Nature Reserve, enjoying a variety of outdoor learning experiences and discovering more about the natural world and recycling.

The morning was spent in the woodland, where pupils took part in a range of engaging activities. They used colour palettes to match the different shades found in nature, investigated and classified a variety of invertebrates, and were excited to discover a rare woodland orchid during their exploration.

After a busy morning, the class enjoyed lunch beside the lake, making the most of the beautiful surroundings before continuing their adventure.

In the afternoon, pupils learned all about waste management during an informative tour of the quarry, landfill and recycling facilities. A highlight of the visit was stepping inside one of the sorting centres, where they were able to see first-hand how recyclable materials are separated and processed.

It was a memorable day filled with hands-on learning, new discoveries and plenty of opportunities to appreciate both the environment and the importance of recycling.
