We all like to go on adventures in the community beyond the school grounds if we get a chance. Last week we went on a walk in the Stromfirth road and went off-road to see what we could find. The bairns were very excited when they found a rabbit burrow and enjoyed listening to the sound of the ‘waterfall’. The looked up close at the tiny heather blooms and took turns of clambering on a big rock ‘horse’.  Stones were upturned in the successful hunt for bugs, and there was plenty excitement and future plans to return, with the hope to see if the rabbit is at home on the next visit.

This week we had a walk to the beach at the Taing which was the first time the new starts had been there with the Whiteness ELC. Collecting sea glass and throwing pebbles into the sea were the favourite activities. We saw a Shetland bumble bee on a purple flower on the verge and heard more trickling water noises in the ditches.

Staff reinforce road safety rules as we go along and all the bairns paid attention and listened well.
