Paddy Madden visits our school!

On Wednesday, 25th September, the school were delighted to welcome Paddy Madden, a Heritage Expert to our school. The children were actively engaged in his workshop on wildlife and the natural environment from start to finish!

The X Factor Bird Singing Competition was a big hit for all the children as they had to be judges in deciding which of the birds were best at singing!

Paddy brought a wide variety of resources for the children to see and investigate during “Snoop Time!”

We saw woodlice….

 a kestrel,

dinosaurs and a mini Jurassic Park,

a ladybird home,

birds,

             

rocks and bones,

bees and butterflies,

water creatures like the water beetle

 and of course Ruffus the Fox!

Many thanks Paddy for all the enthusiasm and knowledge you brought to the children in various aspects of the Natural Environment.

The picture below sums up how enjoyable the day was for everybody! 🙂
