Squirrels the outtakes

16/06/2026

Tonight it was all about our Dads (and Grandads) at Squirrels. We talked about what makes them special and made some cards for Sunday! After a quick game of Beans and a timed sleeping lions, we planted up one of the tyres outside. We had a good look at some worms and bugs we found. Then a good watering to the new plants - Cistus, begonias and lobelia.

Squirrels went a little wild tonight! We had a warm up game being bees, dragonflies and butterflies flying around, We then got crafty and made bugs and critters from pine cones and pipe cleaners. Enjoying the fine evening we went on a tree safari and found 20 types of trees! (Yew, Oak, Holly, Sycamore, Acer, Elder, Photinia, Norway maple, European Beech, Laurel, Willow, Sweet Chestnut, Scot’s Pine, Hawthorn, Hazlenut, Red Beech, Apple, Larch, Blackthorn and Hiclare Holly). We finished with Melon tasting and a sweetie to go home with.
