JOHN MUIR AWARD - CONSERVE

As part of the Conservation strand for the John Muir Award, Form 4 have been busy making some bird tables in their DT lessons.  They have also just made some bird feeders, which we will hang on the trees around school.

Their gardens are looking colourful and hopefully attracting all kinds of insects.

As we have now completed our work towards the John Muir Award, Form 4 reflected on the work they have done and completed the challenge review.   This is a short summary in their own words, of what they have done:

DISCOVER - a wild place

The shrub, wildlife, John Muir, the rock pools, trees within the school grounds, we learnt about the country code, made factfiles about John Muir, posters on the country code, different habitats, names of trees, visit the John Muir Birthplace

EXPLORE - its wildness

we used pooters, we looked at the beach, found insects, watched bugs, explored the rock pools, made bark rubbings and leaf prints, found insects in our gardens, we measured different trees, we looked in the school pond

CONSERVE - take responsibility

we continue to recycle things in school, keep the grounds free from litter,  compost leftovers, made some bird tables, made bird feeders and fat balls, planted different flowers to attract insects

SHARE - your experiences

discussed what we have done, made posters to display around school, made a display for Open Day, pictures and work in the school magazine, pictures and work on the website, we are also visiting John Muir Birthplace and will share our work

 Well done Form 4!
