This week we were visited by BASC. They held 2 workshops for us which gave us the chance to look at local wildlife.

In workshop 1 we tasted a range of different foods that were locally sourced. This included tasting local produce like venison, nettle pesto and blackberry leather. Everyone tasted something new and had the chance to vote for their favourite.

In workshop 2 we looked at different animals in the local environment and how they can affect farming. We also held a variety of deer antler and found out how to identify different deer.

Here is what we thought:

Iona: I liked the tasting because you got to try new things.

Dionne: We got to feel deer antlers. I liked it because it felt weird.

Keiran: I liked when we tasted the blackberry leather because it had so much flavour and it was healthy!

Mackay: I enjoyed the antlers because at the bottom it felt bumpy and at the top it was smooth.
