In Forest School, 6MF explored the question "Does human activity affect where invertebrates live?" They responded with a resounding YES! When asked why, they gave insightful answers, showing a strong understanding of how our actions affect wildlife. 🐞🌿 @sapsy6.bsky.social #SAPSForestSchool #SAPSEco
