Part of the Countryside Skills course is to be able to identify the
different plants and animals living in our local habitats. We found
beetles, spiders, slugs, centipedes, millipedes, butterflies, caterpillars and
more while bug hunting in the garden - all very exciting!
There are many beautiful wildflowers out at the moment. We identified cowslips, red campion, white dead nettle, buttercups and cow parsley
among others.
We pressed the flowers and then tested our memories (and got the ID
guides out again) a few weeks later when they had dried out.
The results have been preserved by laminating and will feature in the
students’ portfolios.
