  • Folly Farm Day 1

    Published 01/06/26

    After arriving at Folly Farm, the children began the day with a lesson exploring what makes an effective wildlife film. After watching and discussing a selection of clips, they headed out into the woodland habitat to begin filming. 
    Working collaboratively in groups, the children collected footage of their chosen creatures and recorded informative voice-overs to accompany their films. 
    Back in the classroom, they uploaded their footage and narration before editing their work and adding background music. 
    Although the rain prevented our planned walk to the top of the hill, the children adapted brilliantly, using their senses to capture the sight, sounds and smells of the orchard on video. They then added this footage to their films. 
    The children have worked incredibly hard throughout the day and are now looking forward to enjoying a well-earned roast chicken dinner before they head out to the woodland again tonight to go badger watching and play games.

  • Changing Chocolate

    Published 06/05/26

    Kestrels were investigating turning a solid into a liquid as part of their 'Changing State' topic today. In groups, the children were given chocolate and had to find out which was the quickest way of melting it. They also discovered that if they left their melted chocolate, it turned back into a solid! This investigation created lots of scientific discussion where the children were able to link it back to some of their prior learning.
