The first of this years Hazel nuts.

The apples are ready for picking from the trees around the school grounds. Apple crumbles for me.

Here's Primary 6/7 watching a couple of grey squirrels in some Scot's Pine trees after completing their barefoot walk - can you spot them? We learned lots about John Muir and what's in store for us during the award. We were all really zoned into nature after the barefoot walk and could have watched the Squirrels for hours!

Primary 7 started their John Muir award by learning about who John Muir was, what he did and the amazing things they'll be doing throughout their award. We headed out to Warout woods to explore the natural world and challenge ourselves with a barefoot walk.

Primary 5/6 got started with their John Muir Award - learning about who John Muir was and the amazing things he did. They stepped up to a John Muir challenge and experienced a barefoot walk for themselves. Some of the class were apprehensive at first but most had a great time and really connected with nature!

Today Senior Conservation Officer, John Lamb, from the Lancashire Wildlife Trust came to our Myplace Hub in Fairies wood to share his knowledge and expertise about woodland management. Over a cuppa around the fire we chatted through ideas of how to get the best from our woodland for people and wildlife.
