Some of our families getting to know more about John Muir

Families found it interesting learning about all the different guidelines we should be following when outside. We do have rights when outdoors but we also have responsibilities!!!

We loved seeing where our families chose for their different wild spaces. Being on the West Coast of Scotland we are spoiled for choice and had beautiful country parks, beaches, nature reserves and back gardens....all wonderful places for us to learn about and appreciate wildlife .

We learned about trees and how important they are for the environment and how to identify different ones.

We had Linda, the Countryside Ranger come in and tell us all about Life Cycles and pond Dipping.

Joanne, the Countryside Ranger came along and told us all about worms and how amazing they are for our environment. Some of us tried worm charming and making a mini wormery to see how the worms live.

We learned about micro habitats and eco systems and made bug hotels and other ways to attract wildlife into our wild spaces.

Looking after the environment and reducing our carbon Footprint is really important - some of us did litter picking, others vowed to turn lights off and walk to school more...Every little helps.
