WILD - Woodland Inspired Learning and Development

🐟🌏 World Rivers Day is celebrated every year on the 4th Sunday in September🐟🌏

🧡 This week we headed down to the waterfall in Love Linn Park park to river dip the White Cart and test the water. We met a fisherman who told us to watch out for Brown Trout and Salmon jumping up the waterfall! 🧡

😁 We took up residence on the rocks to watch for ourselves and it was awesome! We saw a few Brown Trout and a Salmon, all attempting to get back to their spawning grounds. 😁

Get down there for a glance of an incredible natural spectacle.

🟠🟡🟢 "Everything starts from a dot." Wassily Kandinsky 🟠🟡🟢

What is a dot in nature? A spore, a cell, a grain of soil, a berry, a seed, a conker, a gall, an egg? We've been exploring, wondering and creating in celebration of this week.

Thank you to Kirsty Strang-Roy for bringing her words and wisdom along to Trees and Tea today, it was the perfect welcome to Autumn.

🌳👫🦇 It's been a couple weeks of getting into the woodland groove for the W.I.L.D. crew. We've been buddying the new little people and role modelling the key skills of chilling, talking, eating delicious snacks, exploring and creating. 🌳👫🦇

🙌 A huge thanks to the very talented Mr Brechin and Love Linn Park for the installation of the gate into Linn Park. This will make a huge difference to everyone and keep the children safe when entering the Community Field.🙌
