17/05/22 P5 & P5/6, Mr Haston and Miss MacDonald set off to discover 'The Cover'! We had a lovely day to take photographs of the plants and trees in our ancient wet woodland. We will then take time to identify these in the classroom.

This week we created an hedgehog house. We did this by recycling pieces of old fencing, it’s great making something new with something old and unused. We thought it was a good idea to add a cat guard for extra protection. With lots of measuring, sawing and screwing we ended up with a house fit for any discerning hedgehog 🦔 All we need to do now is find the perfect place to put it, we’re thinking somewhere quiet and hidden. Here’s hoping our spikey friends enjoy their new pad!

We found out about John Muir's amazing life! He really inspired us in many ways! 'He never gave up!' E 'He invented amazing things.' H 'He loved and looked after nature.' C 'He went to lots of places.' F

17/05/22 We took some great photos on our discovery trip. We found lots of different trees, plants, fungi and some beautiful gem stones! We will now go back to class and work on identifying these.

We used the tree spotters guide to help us identify some of our trees and the picture app to help us identify the plants. We found out about wild garlic, wild hyacinth, red campion, broom, lesser stitchwort and many more.

26/05/22 Today we went to explore the Cover! We took the Woodland Trust tree id app with us today as well as the Spotters guide. We had fun using the app but found the spotters guide much more accurate. We found alder, ash, bird cherry, birch, hazel and beech trees.

26/06/22 We stopped after snack to have a listening circle. It was lovely! We heard lots of different things. We enjoyed the sun on our face too. 'I heard the river flowing down slowly.' O 'I heard a duck quack,' N 'I heard the birds in the tree.' L ' I heard the wind blowing the branches.' D ' I heard a plane go over the loch.' R
