Year 1 enjoyed an autumnal day at Gibside, as part of their science topic, ‘Seasonal Change’. The children looked for signs that autumn was here and collected leaves, acorns and conkers to take back to class. They have also been learning about animals that hibernate, so decided to make some hedgehog homes. The children used materials around them to create a warm, waterproof shelter for them.

Although it rained most of the day, year 1 made the most of it and enjoyed a treat at the playpark for their amazing efforts.
