Birds of Prey Field Trip

Our homeschool group visited Wheatley Birds of Prey on October 10. It was an incredible experience, thoroughly enjoyed by kids and adults. Clive and Jayne, the handlers, are both very knowledgeable and personable.
Holding a Barn Owl was definitely a highlight...

Moon Phases

Our first science unit has been on the solar system. Below, the boys are learning about the phases of the moon.

Red Kites

Sarah continued our nature unit on birds of prey with a lesson on Red Kites.

As well as facts about the birds, we learned much about the history of Red Kites in Britain.

Worksheets were completed to revise the lesson.

Everyone also completed a painting of a Red Kite. An outline was provided by Sarah.
