Here's some tips...

  • Head to your local park or coastline or even explore your backyard further to find some interesting animals, insects or plants to photograph, video or get curious about

  • Keep an eye out for unusual cloud formations, rainbows or storms forming and see if you can find a name for that weather phenomena and share a picture on the padlet. Here is a great website to identify clouds. Just click on the cloud type to see a description and picture of each cloud: https://whatsthiscloud.com/cloud-types/

How long do I have to do the challenge?

As long as we're in lockdown! The Pymlympics will have a closing ceremony and you will be notified when to stop your challenges prior to this.

I've completed this challenge, what do I do?

Take a photo or video of an interesting animal, insect, plant or weather pattern you find on your adventures outside and post a photo to the Padlet with the name and interesting fact about that nature item. You must name or post a fact about your nature find to gain points.


Alternately, get creative and make a video of yourself presenting what you found out about that nature item just like David Attenborough!
