You will find out lots of information about plants and animals and how to spot signs of wildlife all around us. There are lots of activities including how to make your own bat box and your own bird food and feeder. There are competitions to enter and you can complete Wildlife Watch awards. You will need to ask an adult to help you register.
The team at Stubbington Study Centre have put together some activity ideas, particularly for children at home, to encourage them to engage with nature and carry out related activities.

Miss Keightley’s wildlife challenge
Spring is a very exciting time of year and at the moment our green spaces are filled with wildlife. They are enjoying less noise and less pollution as we all stay at home.
I am really lucky to know a fantastic local wildlife photographer and he very kindly took these photos for us. All these animals have appeared in his garden over the last few weeks.
Can you name all the animals? please tweet us your answers @fryernschool or email homelearning@fryern.net
