This initiative is very exciting as it will allow us to develop learning through landscapes, biodiversity and develop our outdoor learning curriculum within the school. It will also give our children a fun, natural environment to explore and to learn from. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Yesterday Dominic, Archie, Freya A and Louie from last session&#8217;s Pupil Council and Miller, Freya L, Callum and Eilidh from last session\u2019s Rights Respecting Schools group met with Natalie White, Outdoor Learning lead officer, George, the grass cutter and a photographer from East Ayrshire Council.
