We saw lots of different species of birds, learnt about swan migration and dipped our nets in a pond to find all the little creatures that were living in the water. The children were all really interested in finding out about habitats and why birds would travel to Martin Mere from hot or cold countries. We all got to handle the wings of a swan and some children got to watch the otters being fed. They all behaved so well and we are very proud of them.** [year 1/2](https://st-silas-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/news/tag/year-1-2) [science](https://st-silas-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/news/tag/science) [geography](https://st-silas-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/news/tag/geography) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-silas-ce-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/Food_Hygiene_Award.jpg)](https://st-silas-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/news/2023-01-19-food-hygiene-award) Previous ### [Food Hygiene Award](https://st-silas-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/news/2023-01-19-food-hygiene-award) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-silas-ce-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/Residential_Day_1.jpg)](https://st-silas-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/news/2023-02-10-year-6-residential-trip-day-1) Next ### [Year 6 Residential Trip Day 1](https://st-silas-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/news/2023-02-10-year-6-residential-trip-day-1) ### Academy Life - [News](https://st-silas-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/news) - [Events](https://st-silas-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://st-silas-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/photo-gallery-category/school-gallery) - [Calendar](https://st-silas-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/calendar) - [Vacancies](https://st-silas-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/job-vacancies) - [School Council](https://st-silas-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/academy-life/school-council) - [Children's University](https://st-silas-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/academy-life/children-s-university) - [Silas and Me](https://st-silas-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/academy-life/silas-and-me) ##### Location St Silas Road Blackburn BB2 6JP ##### Contact Us 01254 698447 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stsilasceprimary/) - [X](https://twitter.com/StSilas_Primary) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/stsilasblackburn/) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Silas CE Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-silas-ce-primary-school.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
