Whole School Trip to Maryculter Woods

Yesterday, we had a whole school trip to Maryculter Woods. First of all, the children in P5-P7 became rangers for their P1-P4 buddies. They organised a scavenger hunt, a bug hunt and a meet the tree activity. After a quick snack, we split into different groups: the younger children did bark rubbings with their teachers and the P4-P7s made bug hotels and went on a forest walk. We learned to play Scatter which is really fun game. After all that activity, there was last surprise. Mrs. Downie lined us all up on a wooden bridge. She told us she wanted to take one more photo. Just as we were all smiling at the camera, she threw a bucket of water at us. After that, there was only one thing for it...a water fight in the stream! We had a great day, but were a little soggy going home in the car.
