The Tallest Class in Banton Primary
We met a man who had found an injured swallow in the woods.
Swallows are small birds. The swallow has a metallic royal blue back and wings, white belly and a brownish red coloured chin.
They come to the UK in April and stay for the summer. By early September most swallows are getting ready to migrate, some stay till October. The way back to Africa takes about six weeks. Swallows from different parts Europe go to different destinations.
Thistles are known for being Scotland’s national plant and it is because thistles are found in all different places like the woods, the highlands, lots of hills, grasslands and much more they are also known for there pink prickly spikes on the top and the stem being green. They can also sometimes be spiked on the stem. They are very common if you are in the area of them. They plant seeds by the wind blowing hundreds of seeds witch can plant so much more.
And also since they are spikey they stop animals from eating them.
