Big Garden Watch
Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well.
We are taking part in the Big Garden Watch 2021.
This is a national survey of British wildlife in your own garden.
I wonder what you can spot?
I have included a worksheet that you can use to help identify what birds you can see from your garden.

Happy Burns Day
Happy Burns Day everybody!
Today is Robert Burns birthday, traditionally some people in Scotland celebrate by having a Burns supper which is a celebration of the life & poetry of Robert Burns!
Mrs McPhee is having a Burns supper for dinner tonight, we are having Haggis, neeps & tatties! Who knows what “neeps & tatties” are? We are also having some Irn Bru which is also Scottish!
Is anyone else having haggis for dinner or wearing tartan today?
