This session Primary 6 and 7 are going to be working towards their John  Muir award. This award asks us to discover a wild place within our local environment and explore all it has to offer.

In Dunlop we are incredibly fortunate that we have so many beautiful spots on our doorstep for us all to discover.

On Wednesday both classes ventured down to the Millennium Woods. Whilst we were there the children were asked to sketch a particular viewpoint, which when back in the class they would paint in watercolours. Their second task was to write down a variety of descriptions, using their senses. These descriptions will be used to create a piece of creative writing.

As we work towards the award the children will be given the opportunity to suggest ideas and we are really looking forward to hearing what they come up with.
