Squirrel Conservation

Jo came back on Thursday to talk to the children about animals that are native to Scotland, in particular, the red squirrels. Jo put on a wonderful presentation that the children all enjoyed. Jo helps with animal conservation and explained the importance of this to the pupils. The children got to feel weighted toy red and grey squirrels to see the difference in the heaviness of each as, although they look similar sizes, the grey squirrel can easily dominate the red one. Jo is planning to come back to the school very soon to put up squirrel feeders to see if we can attract some red squirrels to our wildlife garden – how exciting!
