For our outdoor learning we took part in the UK big bird watch!

We went out to the woods to see if we could spot any signs of any birds. We spotted some nests and feathers.

We took our identification sheets out and worked together to see if we could spot any of the birds! We had to be very quiet as we moved around so we did not disturb any potential sightings!

We filled in our data and discussed the totals and the types of bird most common to our woods.

We also discussed what we could do to encourage more species to our woods and came up with some great ideas to extend our learning next time!

We had some lovely learning  experiences over the two weeks including a special visit from Mrs Nobles mum who told us all about life on the island of Barra.  We had a go at a traditional Gaelic waulking song and tried it out with some material with 1.2!

We also enjoyed a visit from the Gaelic school and learned some words and songs in Gaelic!

We made some McCoos using lots of different colours and textures of wools inspired by the Scottish artist Steven Brown.

We read the Gruffalo in Scots and picked out some of the describing words, then added these to our very own Gruffalo creation! The children loved identifying the words in Scots and trying to have a go at figuring out the meaning.
