Using your Initiative

Class 1 have been participating in the Wildlife Trust's 30 Days Wild campaign. We are trying to get out and experience nature everyday we are at school. Friday's activity was to set up our new ant farm, so we can see what happens underground. We built the frame, added sand and soil then went on an ant hunt.

Class 1 have been participating in the Wildlife Trust's 30 Days Wild campaign.  We are trying to get out and experience nature everyday we are at school.  Friday's activity was to set up our new ant farm, so we can see what happens underground.  We built the frame, added sand and soil then went on an ant hunt.  We didn't find one. We spent all afternoon moving pots, looking under leaves and in cracks in the ground but didn''t see a single ant. Undeterred the children decided that the best way to get the ants to appear was to write them some helpful notes.   Hopefully, we will soon have a full farm.  How could they resist?
