This is a flower I found whist on a walk and I decided to draw it. Robert Mein

This leaf was lying on the floor of the woods when I discovered it.

Sent out a message of what the group have been doing and how to get involved on 8 local sites.

We decided to learn more about dragonflies as Thursley is home to 26 different species of dragonflies and damselflies. It was designated a dragonfly hotspot in 2019 but unfortunately this Spring's fire caused substantial damage to the habitat as well as the popular Dragonfly boardwalk. We now know how to distinguish between dragonflies and damselflies (most easily the dragonflies rest with their wings open, and are larger and faster than damselflies). We also learned they've been around since the dinosaurs and are one of the most efficient carnivorous predators on the planet with a 95% success rate in hunting! We also felt a little sad to learn that although the nymphs live for 3 years in the water, adults only live for a month. The kids created lovely lapbooks with all their facts they learned.

@Cassilton Housing Association giving away fresh vegetables, snacks and art packs for the wee ones. Just in time for nature to give approving smile with a beautiful Rainbow!

Primary 7 used a sunny day to practise their measuring skills in numeracy. We have been reading the novel Holes by Louis Sachar and we wanted to know what Stanley's Holes looked like. We measured the length and width of the holes by converting our feet measurement into metres. P7 tried to see how many pupils would fit in Stanley Yelnats' hole.
