RCD- Our trip to Wirral Country Park

Lesson: EYFS

Wirral Country Park

We had a fantastic day at Wirral Country Park.  On arrival at the park we walked down to the beach and explored the seashore.  We identified different features of the coastline and discovered cockle shells, mermaids purses and whelk egg cases.  

After our picnic lunch, we had fun playing games on the field and then joined the Ranger to hunt for minibeasts.  We learnt how to sweep nets through the meadow and then all had a go at it.  We carefully emptied the nets into a tray so we could examine what we had caught.  We found crickets, beetles, flies and the ranger showed us some beautiful butterflies and moths.  Then we had a go at holding a flat net under a tree, whilst we gently shook the branches.
