P3 had a wonderful afternoon at Dawyck Botanic Gardens. The sun came out after a rainy start to the day. We enjoyed exploring the woodland gardens to find out about SWAF. Our bears and soft animals had an adventure with Edward Bear while we were exploring. Here are some of our thoughts when we got back to school.

I liked finding the clues. Caitlin

I liked finding out about SWAF. Animals need Shelter, Water, Air and Food. Orla

We made islands with lots of different natural materials that you would find in the woods and string and flags. We put the flags next to the SWAF things for the animals.  It was really good because I have never been to Dawyck Gardens before. Jade

We found out that SWAF means four different things that all creatures that live need. Shelter, Water, Air and Food.  And I got to meet my Dad because he works at Dawyck. Thomas

I liked meeting Edward the bear. He was huge. Sebastian

I liked when we got to make the islands. We found an arched twig and made it into a rainbow.  And I made a tree which would give the animals shelter.  Sadie

My favourite part was finding out about Edward and SWAF. It was nice and sunny that day. Jacob

We made little islands out of things we found in the forest for a little bear. It was fun. Bebe

We played a game and it was about somebody chopping down trees and the bears needed the trees for shelter so the bears had to scare the woodcutter away. It was really really fun. Holly

We met Edward the bear. He was soft. We all loved him. Jaime
