P7 and P6/7 braved the weather today and headed to Abriachan for a brilliant day of outdoor learning.
At Drakies, we are looking to develop our outdoor space and today was a fanatic opportunity for the pupils to ‘magpie’ some ideas!
We started off the morning with the identification of different types of trees in the area.


The pupils then got to plant their own Silver Birch trees! 🌳

After that we got to pick some spruces to take back to school to plant. We even thought about decorating a few for our classroom during the festive season 🎅🏽

We talked about the animals that live in the area and had a go at making our own bug hotels 🐜

It was very cold and wet so we got to toast some apples 🍎 and play in the park/tree house to finish off a brilliant day!

We can’t wait to take all of our new ideas back to school!
After we’ve had a nap of course…
