On Monday 18th March, Alannah from Zoolab visited us as part of our Eco Schools programme. She brought lots of interesting mini beasts including Hissing Cockroaches, Rats, Snakes, Millipedes, Tarantulas and a Tree Frog.
She talked to us about Paper and Deforestation, Mining in the Rainforest, Energy Saving, Acid Rain and Climate Change. We loved learning this way and Alannah and the animals were great.
The pupils from Clachan Primary are learning about explorers through Forest School activities.
Everyone braved the winter weather to build a shelter in the woods.
We all worked together as a team using saws, ropes, a tarpaulin and branches to create a weatherproof shelter.
Then we lit a fire and enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate which Eilidh and Kayleigh prepared.

There are 12 of us, 10 pupils (P1-P6) and 2 members of staff, although we’ve also had 7 different visitors, including our Education Scotland inspector and Miss Teen Argyll (Galaxy)!
Priority is safety and comfort. The pupils are becoming proficient at putting up a tarpaulin shelter, using timber hitch and tension knots. They’re also pretty good at retrieving it from the trees on windy days! Teamwork is essential and they know their roles. Continue reading Kilchrenan Primary Forest School Update
