This session Primary 6 and 7 are going to be working towards their John\u00a0 Muir award. This award asks us to discover a wild place within our local environment and explore all it has to offer. If you would like to know more about this please follow the link https:\/\/www.johnmuirtrust.org\/john-muir-award<\/a><\/p>\n

In Dunlop we are incredibly fortunate that we have so many beautiful spots on our doorstep for us all to discover.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
