On Wednesday the 31st of May, P5-7 went along to Leswalt’s local wetlands at Aldouran. We were looking forward to finding out lots more about wild flowers, plants and trees. We headed up through the woodland paths, listening to the sounds of nature. Here are a few quotes from our class about the wetlands.
“You can learn a lot more when you’re not in a class room,” Jamie.
“It was an exciting adventure and I hope to go back soon,” Arden.
Cherry and Eve were our tour guides for the afternoon and they shared with us their vast knowledge about plants. Also we learned about how plants do not flower so much in woodland because the trees block the sun in Summer.
As we were walking down from the woods, we looked towards the pond and saw baby ducks. There was eleven ducks in the pond when we went to the wetlands. Also we saw the dinosaur’s nest but unfortunately no dinosaurs!
We enjoyed our visit and will return again very soon!
