Miss Clare Daly’s S3 English class recently visited the Falls of Clyde Woodland Centre to undertake field study work linked into the themes they have been working on in their recent novel study. Having read about woodland activities and wildlife conservation challenges, the class were thrilled to visit the peregrine falcon nest site and learn of the 24-hour surveillance undertaken to protect the eggs against poachers.

At the Centre, pupils also learned about the range of plant species to be found in the locality and how the Woodland Trust works to preserve the beauty of the stunning natural surroundings.

In keeping with their thematic study, the pupils were inspired to create their own ‘survival guides’ taking due account of the natural resources at their disposal. Everyone enjoyed a fascinating trip and having a picnic in the lovely spring sunshine.
