Our class planted trees and flowers in school grounds!

Today we made bird feeders and then we went out to hang them on the trees. Our class did a great job and they were very excited!

Today was our final John Muir session. We presented our share section of our award to some of our school staff. We told them what we had learned, what new skills we have gained and also what we enjoyed!

On week 11 we went to Loch Lomond & Balloch Country park to walk part of the John Muir Way. The weather wasn't great but it was cool to follow in John Muir's footsteps. We walked a lot, learned the history of the castle & John Muir's time there and we also got to see Loch Lomond!

On week 10 we harvested rhubarb from our school garden and we used it to make rhubarb and apple crumble with the help of our home economics teacher. It was great to see it being grown, harvested and then used to make into something.

Yoga on the beach early in the morning listening to the waterfall,waves, wind and birds. Feeling the sand beneath the toes and stretching into the day. Running in the coastal national park and pausing to listen to a stream and admire the Iris flowers swaying in water and wind. Son walking home along the coastal path.

Our final day on Meall a'Bhuachaille and the pressure was on to get the path work finished, not only because it was the last day, but also the weather forecast was for rain at the end of the day. In the end not only did we get 2 water bars and 3 steps completed, we also managed to clear all drainage features and re-dig 10m of ditching on the way back down the hill. Whilst being on the hill for 5 days, it has been great to spot and identify some lovely wildlife. Here are some pictures of some of the ones that we managed to get photos of. It's been a great 5 days in the Glenmore Forest, we are all very tired, but a good tired. And the paths are in a better state than when we started. Still plenty to do and we look forward to more volunteer days in the area in the future.
