Primary 7 have started working towards their John Muir Awards. As part of this award our P7 learners are starting to learn about their local area, for this we will be visiting Kippenrait Glen (the Darn Walk). Yesterday we had to take our learning outdoors to practise some of the activities we will be completing when we visit the Glen next week!

We worked with Mr Gall to measure the height of trees with just a pencil, measuring tape and a friend, Miss May helped us to use touch to explore some of the plants we have in our school playground and Mrs Hislop taught us to use our other senses – sight, smell and sound to complete a senses alphabet looking at the sights, sound and smells of our local environment!

We are looking forward to taking our learning to the Glen next week!
