Into the Wild with Year 3 at the Bigwood Estate

This week, our Year 3 children enjoyed a fantastic spring visit to the Bigwood Estate. They had a wonderful time exploring the outdoors with Farmer David and were excited to meet horses and spot cows with their calves – including a magnificent Highland cow!

The children loved spending time in the woodland, where they discovered a variety of plants and even had the chance to taste wild garlic. In our English lessons we have been studying the classic story of Charlotte’s Web and at Bigwood we were able to go on a mini‑beast hunt, searching for spiders on their webs! We saw lots of beautiful, intricate webs and little, delicate spiders to inspire our creative writing back in the classroom. What a brilliant morning out in fresh air immersed in nature. We loved it!
