Classes 1 and 2 enjoyed a fantastic day at Dawlish Warren Nature Reserve, taking part in a range of exciting outdoor learning activities.
The children became young naturalists for the day as they explored the reserve through pond dipping, minibeast hunts and grass sweeping. They were fascinated by the variety of creatures they discovered and enjoyed learning about different habitats, life cycles and the importance of protecting our local environment.
These hands-on experiences helped to bring their science learning to life, encouraging curiosity, observation skills and a deeper understanding of the natural world. Pupils worked collaboratively, asked thoughtful questions and showed great enthusiasm as they investigated the wildlife around them.
The day also included time on the beach, where pupils enjoyed exploring the coastline and taking in the beautiful surroundings. Spending time outdoors provided valuable opportunities to develop confidence, independence and teamwork, while supporting pupils’ wellbeing through active learning in nature.
It was wonderful to see the children so engaged and excited by their discoveries. Experiences such as these help to create lasting memories and inspire a lifelong appreciation of the environment.
Well done to all of the pupils for their excellent behaviour, enthusiasm and curiosity throughout the day. We are also very grateful to the staff and volunteers at Dawlish Warren Nature Reserve for providing such an enjoyable and educational experience.
