Hello everyone,
The Scottish Wildlife Trust is inviting everyone to join in 30 Days Wild, doing one different Wild Thing each day, and this is something the children have enjoyed doing in nursery in the past. You can sign up to join in 30 Days Wild for free, and receive a digital set of cards with simple and easy Wild things to do each day. The children have the fun of choosing a different card each day. Some examples are below:
You can find great ideas for other wild things to do and make at home at this link:

Why not send us any photos of Wild things you have seen or done to our Twitter account?

Who do you think lives behind these doors?
Here are Mrs Hampton’s lovely painted stones. What birds and insects can you see and paint?
If you go down to the woods today… look out for bluebells as well as fairies. They are starting to grow…
Hi everybody, Mrs Reynolds here, I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe. I was reading Mrs MacLeod’s post about going on a rainbow nature hunt and I knew my little girl Erin would love to do that, so I thought I would share what we did. I made Erin a grid from string and cardboard and placed different colours onto it for her to find on our walk. For older children you could add different numbers to each colour of how many items to collect for a numeracy experience and write the colour names on it to promote literacy. Erin really enjoyed collecting the items and placing them under the string to take them home with her. Maybe some of you could try this on your next walk and send us a photo of what you managed to collect. Keep an eye on the blog to see more of what Erin and I are up to and please keep sharing your ideas with us as well.
Below are some examples of outdoor Transient Art by the British environmental artist Andy Goldworthy. You might get some ideas from him…
We were looking for minibeasts in our bug hotel.
We found a tiny spider and called it Incy Wincy!
When you are out a walk with your adult or in the garden, see if you could spot any minibeasts!
Lift up a log, stone or plant pot and see what might be hiding underneath.
Below is a selection of the Spring banners our children created to decorate the hall for our Daffodil Tea. They practised their Spring songs to sing to parents and visitors and thus helped raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care. Well done to all the children and a big thank you to all who supported the event!!

The children have been busy investigating and discovering through lots of exciting Science Experiments during STEM fortnight. They have been testing, describing, asking questions and observing results.
“I’m wondering what would happen if…”
