Thank you to Aldouran Wetlands

The children of p1-4 invited Jane Sloan into Leswalt Primary so they could say a special thank you for all the help all the volunteers at Leswalt Wetlands have given the school this term.  While the children were developing the school grounds, they mad some planters out of tyres.  So, for a thank you to Mrs Sloan and her team,  they made them a special ladybird and bumble bee planter for the Aldouran Wetlands to enjoy.

The children passed on their grateful thanks;

P1-4 at Leswalt have been very lucky this term and have had the chance to take part in lots of fun activities at the Wetlands.  Some of the activities include pond dipping, mini beast hunt, nature weaving and life cycles.  We love the Wetlands at Leswalt because every time we go there is always something different to do.  We were also excited to discover that there will soon be a new addition at the Wetlands, a 3 metre tall Gruffalo!  We think Jane and the team at the Wetlands are great and they do a brilliant job giving up their own time to make the Wetlands a fun place to go!Charlotte (P4), Aidan (P1), Nicole (P2)

P1-4 have been spending a lot of time at the Wetlands this term.  Jane Sloan and her team of volunteers planned lots of fun activities for us to take part in such as pond dipping, a scavenger hunt and planting Mexican Hat plants!  It is a lot of fun to go to the Wetlands and there are lots of things to see and do such as fairy doors, bug hotels, wood carvings and ducks.  Very soon they will have a new Gruffalo carving.  He is going to be huge.  3 metres tall!  We now we are very lucky at Leswalt Primary to have the Wetlands right on our doorstep.      Millie (P4), Andrew (P2), Murray (P1)

Our topic this term was called Living and Non-living Things and we were very lucky that we had the Wetlands so close by to visit.  We got to take part in lots of games and activities and they all linked in well with our topic and what we were learning in the classroom.  Soon there will be a new carving at the Wetlands, a 3 metre tall Gruffalo!  We can’t wait to go and visit it.  Thank you to all the volunteers at the Wetlands for planning so many fun activities for us.   Kirstie (P4), Cameron (P4), Robin (P2)  Jane Sloan - painted tyres - June 2016 (1)
