Welcome to your latest IDl Blog. We have now completed Learning  Journey 3 – Scottish Foods. Our Learning from now until the Summer Break will focus on the RSPB Wild Challenge Bronze Award. We will achieve the award if we complete a series of challenges to support nature. With all of the children’s prior learning about Climate, Food Chains and Habitats, they are more than ready to rise to this challenge.

We kicked off this challenge by making bird feeders to mark World Earth Day. We used recycled cardboard to make hanging shapes, coated them in fat and then added bird seed. We then observed the grassy area in front of the school over time to see if the feeders attracted more birds to the area.

Our next challenge was to conduct a BioBlitz survey. It took real patience to sit and see what changed in our Bioblitz circles as we observed. It’s just as well we’ve been working so hard on our Focusing Meta Skill!

We are looking forward to moving on with our nature challenges – let’s hope the weather holds for us.
