We are excited to announce that the Y5 children are undertaking their John Muir Discovery award this term. It fits nicely with the vibe of forest school and is a nationally recognised nature and conservation award. There are four elements to the award which are: Discover a wild place, explore a wild place, conserve a wild place and to share their experiences. We look forward to sharing what we have done over the next three weeks.
This week we have litter picked the area in front of the marsh where a shocking amount of rubbish had been dumped overthe sunny weekend. We did some citizen science by completing water surveys to see how healthy the lake on the marsh is, we cooked chocolate bannock, hunted for mini beasts and made natural crafts with elder wood. The sun shone and we had a fantastic week!
The Wednesday group’s photos are below.
