Nature Detectives - Wheelock Rail Trail

Last week Year 2 ventured out along the Wheelock Rail Trail on a mission to explore local wildlife. Working in groups of six, the children searched for plants and animals in their natural habitats. We spotted butterflies, bluebells, whitebells, birds, caterpillars, dragonflies and tadpoles. Some of the children even spotted a sleeping bat underneath the bridge! The children also learnt how to respect the environment by not picking plants or making unnecessary noise. After all our hard work, we had our snack at the old railway station whilst reflecting on our afternoon. Thank you to all who helped out for a fantastic afternoon.

  2. Despite the strong rise in Chile's inflation, Spanish analysts see continued economic stability in that country, with sustained economic growth, albeit at lower rates than in previous years given the current global economic downturn. corporate investigations in spain
