Go Wild Nature Camp

We were delighted to participate in the 'Go Wild Nature Camp' as part of Science Week 2017.
We investigated freshwater ecosystems and their inhabitants. 
We were very interested in investigating  and classifying minibeasts . 
Our class visited Merlin Woods to become aware of the different species of flora and fauna living there. We were thrilled to see a real vole close up!

Next we investigated illusions using light, a glass of water and paper! We drew two left-pointing arrows on a piece of paper and then put a clear, empty glass between us and the arrows. We poured water into the glass and something unexpected happened.  Can you guess what?
