StMargs Year 5

Year 5 @StMargaretsPrep have been exploring the reproductive process in flowering plants. They carefully observed all the parts inside a flower before dissecting it and then looked at the different ways plants disperse seeds. #InspiringExcellence #FosteringExploration

We couldn’t go to the farm without visiting the cows and calves and finding a variety of insects in the hedgerow. @KingsplayFarm #curiosoty @StMargaretsPrep

An afternoon messing about on a lake. Kayaking and falling in the water. 💦@StMargaretsPrep

The children slept really well and after a good breakfast we were off up the high ropes. Adrenaline and nerves. We were so proud. Everyone went up!! @StMargaretsPrep

After dinner we went on a line walk- with blindfolds!! Teamwork and communication was definitely needed. #outdoorlearning
