This week, our class was lucky enough to experience two enrichment activities relating to Science. The first was a visit from Mrs. Condon, the CLIC teacher, who led us through an activity about the adaptations of beavers. We learned a lot of interesting things about beavers, including that they can use their tail as a chair!

Stephanie was a very good sport and modeled the adaptations of a beaver, including clear eyelids (the goggles), two layers of fat for insulation (the foam) and webbed feet (the flippers)!

| Thanks, Stephanie! |
On Thursday, we had a visit from Mr. Parks who runs a program called "Wingmasters". Mr. Parks has spent years rescuing and rehabilitation injured birds of prey. He brought in some of these birds, including a Peregrine Falcon (the fastest animal on earth), a Barred Owl, an American Kestrel (the only type of falcon that lives in Topsfield) and the very cute Northern Saw-Whet Owl. We were amazed by these incredible birds of prey!
