Year 2 have enjoyed some lovely spring weather during their busy badger sessions. They spent time exploring the school environment, doing bark rubbing, creating nature prints, bug hunting and recreating some nature pictures on the playground with chalk. They also practiced their balancing skills on the slack line and stepping stones.

Year 6 have enjoyed a mix of weather during their Busy Badgers session. We have used tools to create wooden Christmas decorations. We explored the nature reserve using cameras to take photos of nature in winter. The pond was frozen over when we visited so we had a discussion about the dangers of frozen water. We have also worked in teams to make some bird feeders and put them around the school grounds.

Year 3 have experienced every weather during their Busy Badger sessions, from a beautiful autumn day, pouring rain, icy cold and even a hail storm!! We have collected autumn leaves at the nature reserve, made boats, splashed in puddles, explored the ice, had 'Busy Badgers Bake Off' and finished our sessions with some crafts. Have a look at the slideshow below.

Year 4 have finished the first block of Busy Badger sessions for this academic year. They were able to spend some time at the nature reserve. When we walked down we discovered that the pond was empty from the lack of rain, this meant that we were able to go into the pond basin and explore in the trees there. We even had a go at building a shelter. Year 4s also enjoyed looking out for the signs of autumn and using the resources in the Busy Badgers area to create some art piece
