The sun was far away when we went down to the Spey this week – many thanks for helping the children get properly organised with boots and waterproofs!

In our first session out, we focused on our senses – hearing, sight and sound.

With a partner,  the children found ‘quiet spots’ to help tune into the area.

Working together, we looked closely at shades of colour, finding and matching samples from the leaves and trees that we will use back in class.

And lastly, we created our own bird calls with a partner to see if they helped us find each other in the fog! We transformed Spey Park from a quiet place into a rainforest of sounds – as you can hear in this clip…

Wellies and warm socks next week again, please, for a visit around the Lynn Falls.
