24/04/12 Visit to Epping Forest Study Centre

Year 5 braved the cold and rain on Tuesday 24th April and travelled to Epping Forest by coach. Here are some pictures of our day!

Team 4 getting ready for the outdoor Forest Hunt

Forest investigation- measuring the impact that humans have had on the forest

We used a quadrat to find the percentage of an area with / without grass due to trampling

We thought about how bats catch their prey at night through echolocation. They listen carefully to the sound bouncing off moths! Sound pollution can make this difficult as the bats cannot hear properly.

Questions and answers. We learned a great deal in the forest today! Did you know that the size of Epping Forest is roughly equivalent to 7800 football pitches!

A big thank you to Ibrahim's, Ilyas's, Ismail's and Maria's mums who supported us on this visit!
