Our trip to Leighton Moss

We had a fantastic trip to Leighton Moss; we spent the morning pond dipping and learning how to carefully catch the pond creatures on a spoon. In the afternoon we climbed the sky walk to look out across the whole of Leighton Moss; we went on a colour hunt – matching colours on a chart to the colours we found; we made scent cocktails with herbs and finally we went on a mini-beast hunt in the garden. It was a brilliant day and the children were so interested, asked brilliant questions and showed how much they already knew!
