It's been a busy week at Fleming Fulton School, however that's not stopped us from getting #WILD
Leah has been out on her hand bike at Lissan House looking for bees in the wildflowers... I wonder if the bees were attracted to her juice...?
Joanna spent loads of time in her local park collecting feathers, sticks, stones and other items for her nature table, isn't it fantastic...??!!
P5 went on a #30DaysWild Adventure today down past our wildlife pond and river checking to see what wild flowers they could find on the way.
They spotted lots of plants, some greenfly, ladybirds and bumblebees.
I went down later with the 'Picture This' app on my phone to identify some of the plants they found.
I've added a selection of the photos I took showing the plants that were identified.

Happy Friday Everyone...!!
The Wild Encounters continue in school... I look forward everyday to seeing what our pupils get up to.
P2/3/4 went on a bearhunt, collecting natural things along the way... I know of Foxes and Badgers in the school grounds, I really hope they didn't find any bears though...!!
Mrs Gallen's class were in the sensory garden enjoying a story about the seaside
The Random Acts of Wildness continue at Fleming Fulton and at home...
Lots of entries for the Blog today.
Caitlin and Daire were out in the sensory garden feeding the Goldfish and enjoing the feel of the cool water.
Mrs Vance's class were down by the river looking for mini WILD habitats. They found tree bark, moss and lots of wild flowers.

Mrs Foster has just shared this video with me. She was enjoying a family BBQ at home over the weekend when her party was gate crashed by a Badger...!!
Yes, you heard right, a BADGER...
Mr Bertie Badger, strolled right up onto her patio in the early evening looking for his share of the burgers...
*Original audio track replaced to protect the innocent... ;o)
The excellent weather continues and the school gardens are bursting with new life...
Almost everyone was outside at some time today getting #WILD in our school garden.
P6 went in search of the perfect tree to do some bark rubbings, looks like fun.
Leah was enjoying the blue sky and sun this morning outside her new house as she was waiting for her bus.
Lots going on outside today...
P2/3/4 were enjoying a picnic in the WILD. They took their snack outside and then took time to stop and listen to the sounds of the WILD and cuddle their teddies. Later they took their shoes and socks off to feel the WILD between their toes.
Leah & Hannah were out in the Wildlife Garden listening to the WILD. They heard lots of different birds and the wind blowing through the trees.
It's here, the first day of our #30DAYSWILD Challenge...!!!
Year 13 were feeling WILD in the greenhouse, discovering the feel, smells and tastes of the wild. We smooshed soil, caressed compost, wiggled our fingers in pond water, got up close with grass and looked longingly at leaves.
No-one was brave enough to take their shoes off, but Katie and Nathan did taste a part of a Nasturtium flower (They didn't like it, too 'spicy..!')
Year 13M are leading our School in The Wildlife Trusts 30 Days Wild Challenge.
A simple concept, complete a Random Act of Wildness every day for 30 days in June. (We're starting a bit early as school finishes before the end of June.)
If you want to take part at home, you can send me your pictures or videos to pmaxwell704@c2kni.net. If you're lucky they may feature in our daily #30DAYSWILD blog on the School Website.
