Today 2 of our groups went on Safari with Derek. They learned all about the local environment and some of the plants and animals that live here. The children were amazed at how close to us the herring gulls flew and that they really liked eating spaghetti, especially one of Derek’s favourite gulls, Dopey. We were really lucky because after some role play as mice we actually got to see some voles that were in the humane traps.
Then we went to the lab and learned all about the Scottish landscape and how it has changed over the centuries. We also got to meet some furry friends.
