Y5 Trip to Hastings Country Park

Wednesday 02 July
As part of our Life Cycles and Biomes topics, we will be taking part in two workshops at the Bale House in Hastings Country Park.
The children will be taking part in the following two activities:
- A ‘Suncatchers’ workshop in the Bale House which is all about the lifecycle of plants (it also includes several fun interactive games about pollination and seed dispersal).
- A ‘Farm to Food’ walk which covers how the Country Park is funded through the Higher Stewardship Grant, growing food- crops and animals, grazing animals (ponies and cattle), the importance of hedgerows, soil health and natural predators.
