Dragon Making
These Outdoor Explorer watched our 'make a junk dragon' video last week and then made their own. Well done dragons! We loved the way that the children collected up junk from around the house and reused it to make something interesting. If you make something interesting, send it to us and we can put it on our site.

Going on a Squirrel Hunt
Culloden Avenue Squirrel Hunt
If you go down to 'The Avenue' today, you'll never believe your eyes. If you look up into the trees today, you might just get a surprise: A red squirrel. These animals are quite rare in the UK, so we are very lucky to have some that live so close to us. Thank you Miss Bills for this squirrel film.
Squirrel Runs and Squirrel Art

Evidence
Sometimes you can't see a squirrel, but you can see evidence that squirrels are around. The seeds from these cones have been removed and eaten by the hungry squirrel.
Cone Creations
Laura has used some of the cones she found to make a lovely cone creation.
