As part of our Animals and their Habitats topic we went on a trip to Beecraigs Country Park.  We went pond dipping with our very own handmade fishing net and managed to catch a tad pole and pond snails! We made our fishing nets using, a wire coat hanger, bamboo, duct tape and a pair of tights.  If you would like to make one to use during the summer holidays look at the RSPB website:

During our trip we made letters using natural materials and took part in a nature scavenger hunt where we looked for birds, flowers and insects.  We were lucky enough to meet a 3 day old Belted Galloway calf called Spot.
