Hello, this is primary 5/6/7s adventure at Peat moss litter picking to Honor John muir’s love for nature🌲, We loved doing it. We even found a brick 🧱 and a weird engine looking thing, We learned that nature is only fun when you make it a fun and exciting place that everyone can enjoy. John used to sit outside for hours admiring nature😄. Today we did an activity called silent sit to admire nature like John did. He loved❤️ Climbing things such as trees and walls, speaking of that a primary 5 reached the top of a tree and slipped of unfortunately landing on his back laughing his socks off at himself😂. John climbed a tree during a lightening storm just to see what it would do.
Thanks for reading😄

Today we did some wild life recordings on nature. We saw different creatures such as spiders🕷, beetles, flys, dragonfly’s and baby eggs🥚. We also had jars to capture little creatures in such as Spiders, Beatles, Flys, Dragonfly’s. As well as capturing insects we also saw Birds🦅, Bees🐝, Moths, dandelions, snail🐌 and magpies. Last but not least we reflected on what we did.Then we headed back to school.

At the Easter inch moss we did biodiversity BINGO. Which is where we look for like a pink flower and then we would find it and cross it off our bingo sheet. It was fun with some challenges. We were racing to find everything. Some were easy some were difficult. It was really competitive and some people could find what others couldn’t. The winning team were the people who found the creatures or plants five in a row. The prize was a water bottle.

Today we have learned lots about John Muir. He was famous for loving nature and all the other stuff hes done. Such as walk 1000 miles from Indianapolis to the Gulf of Mexico. Today we learned how to catch and put bugs and beasties in containers and how to identify different bugs such as spiders,beetles and centipedes. We have also done a lot of litter picking and we found a bike in the burn. This is bad cause the water will make the bike disintegrate and animals could die. There was a lot of glass bottles witch are really bad for animals cause spiders could get trapped inside the bottle

Our discovery of bugs started with our groups going to improve the area for animals and insects. 1 person had to litter pick, 1 person had to carry a bag and the others had to collect insects and put them in a jar to get a closer inspection. Charlie made us learn something: do NOT put a millipede a centipede and a spider in 1 jar they will fight, the spider made the millipede and the centipede roll into a ball because they were scared.
ALL THE LITTER WE FOUND
whilst litter picking we found some strange stuff. I found a plastic bag stuck in the ground i had to use my hands, Kanza found a piece of plastic in the ground and Eilidh found a bike in the burn witch is bad for the animals

So our favourite part of John muir so far was biodiversity bingo.To explore thing in more deatil for example you had to find water you would cross it out on your piece of pater and see the water in more deatil.You would have to find 4/5 things in real life up,down,left,right and diagonal. If you were lucky you could have found some Animals about maybe even a pink flower (if you were lucky do remember 😄 )Witch was the first thing we did.

We were litter picking to keep the animals safe and helping to protect the wild life. We used gloves incase anything was sharp. We found things like glass bottles, a bed and a bike.
We were shocked to see the amount of litter we found. We could put bins for litter and signs for where to put big litter like a bed.

We sat down in our own place shut our eyes and listened to all of the different sounds that we could hear we could hear bees,sticks,planes,leaves and breathing 🕊
