What wildlife is there in our school grounds?

As part of the Summer topic, 'Whose world is it anyway?', Mulberry Class walked around the school grounds and noticed some amazing plants and wildlife.

We identified trees, plants and habitat spaces. 

We also noticed all the wildlife that live in and around the plants such as bees, birds and insects.

So why is the wildlife more active in certain areas such as the pond and around the flowers?

Some suggested this is where the food is, and that they are attracted to bright things like flowers and one of our t-shirts!!!
