Our visit to Culzean

We’ve had a fantastic day out at Culzean where we have been learning about weather forecasting and life on the seashore. Our rangers, Karen and Michelle, engaged  us in a variety of outdoor learning activities. We recorded today’s wind direction, lowest and highest temperatures, wind speed and humidity. Down at the seashore, we searched for different types of shells, feathers, stones, driftwood and crabs.

More to follow from the pupils about what they learned and found most enjoyable.
