Year R at Hillier- Oak class

We had a lovey time at Hillier today! The sun shone, the butterflies fluttered and the bees buzzed. We got to participate in all sorts of wonderful activities that allowed us to really experience all that nature has to offer on a fine summer day. We skimmed the long grass using nets to try and catch crickets, grasshoppers, butterflies and beetles. We went pond dipping and caught a whole array of little critters, such as newts, pond skaters and freshwater prawns. We used colour palettes, just like artists, to colour match using the beautiful flowers at Hiller, snap! We also went on a scavenger hunt through a meadow looking out for items that don’t belong in nature, we had to look closely as some were camouflaged! Thank-you to Hiller and to all of the parents who helped make this wonderful day possible!
