Worldly Wise: Birds

March 27, 2019

The whole school joined together to expand their knowledge of things that fly with this week's focus: birds.

To provide a memorable real-world example for our pupils, a very special visitor joined our assembly. Grendel the owl displayed his wonderful wings so the children could look at their structure and their concave shape that is used to provide lift.

Thank you to Mr and Mrs Manning for bringing to school their gorgeous feathered friend.
