This afternoon we planted Yellow Rattle seeds to encourage more wildflowers to grow at the Luggie.  We did this to encourage more insects to come to the Luggie Nature Reserve.  Bumble Bees love Yellow Rattle flowers and hopefully next year we will see even more Bumble Bees.  We also learned today that ladybirds get their names from their colour and the number of spots they have on their wings.

We also took clipping from a willow and we will try to grow them back in school.

We also learned today that fungi prefers to grow on dead trees because they are rotten material.

We picked some reed and tried to peel it back and make a wick for a candle like Victorian Children did.  It was very difficult.  These two children managed to make the longest wick.
