Looking at our Hedgerows

 

 

 

    

 

1st, 2nd and 3rd class took a different animal or tree and looked into how they make up our hedgerows. We discovered how importnant every single one of them is to our environment.All the children were put into groups and they picked a topic. They gathered information and pictures,they made their topics with clay. Then they made a presentation in Mrs Dignams classroom.
