"Nestled between Leeds, York and Wakefield, Fairburn Ings is an exciting site for family activities and wildlife watching. Over the last 60 years it has transitioned from coal face to wild place; an ex-industrial site rich in heritage and an important site for breeding and wintering wildfowl."

On Wednesday 30th March, Year 2 visited Fairburn Ings nature reserve as part of their science unit on Living Things and their Habitats. They took part in a nature walk, looking at lots of different habitats and even spotted a heron! The children also went on a minibeast hunt where they found lots of different insects and amphibians in their natural habitats. 

Take a look at what they got up to!
