Year 4 Trip to Wollaton Hall

Year 4 enjoyed a day at Wollaton Hall doing lots of different science activities. They made habitats for different woodland animals and explained to their class how their habitat provided for their animal. They used classification keys and information from displays inside the museum to find out about their teacher's favourite birds. They explored the museum to study different animals in their habitats. They explored the 'Disappearing World' exhibition where Dr Willard had made different miniature sculptures that fitted inside the heads of needles and could only be seen through microscopes; and discussed the impact humans were having on animals and their habitats. While they were on their visit, they also squeezed in some orienteering, a welly hunt around the gardens and, of course, a visit to the adventure playground. It was a brilliant day!
