P6 from Stoneyburn joined P6/5 today to take part in outdoor learning at Greenrigg Community woodland. It was a chance to make new friends and work with different people.

Mrs Gibson, Miss Cooke and Miss Benson walked us down to the community wood to help us make forest cocktails and build dens.

Our forest cocktails were made with different leaves, flowers and tree parts and mixed with a long stick. We had different smells in each cup. We then named our creations.

We then formed teams and had to make a den with a roof to protect us from the wind and rain. We used leaves, sticks and plants around us to build them. Some of us were more successful than others.

We had an excellent day and can’t wait for the next opportunity when we can all get together.
