Day 3 - Exploring the woods.

The John Muir Group started the day by discussing comfort zones and the benefits of pushing one's self out of their normal comfort zone. They then added their leaf drawings from last week to their John Muir display board, before heading outside in the rain to explore the local area. The group navigated their way along the paths and trails around the edge of Bellshill, using a compass and map. Each pupil took a turn at leading the group during the day walk, ensuring the group stayed together and followed the paths. The pupils collected a range of twigs and branches from the wooded area next to the school and turned them into natural photo-frames. The group then spent the afternoon painting nature-themed suncatchers, including flower designs and woodland creature designs.
