Inspired by our book topic on 'Skellig' by David Almond, Year 5 and 6 learnt how to dissect an owl pellet. We uncovered the skeletons of lots of smalls mammals, including rodents, moles and shrews; we even found a bird's skull! Barn owls are unable to chew, so have to swallow their prey whole and regurgitate the waste. Brilliant hands on learning!
