Practising the art of making fire with dry tinder materials in winter takes a lifetime to perfect. The tinder can never be too dry! No two fires are the same, one thing it always teaches us however, is patience. And its so satisfying to sit round a fire you have lit.

Our butter knife project produced many unique designs.
We’ll try and find the photo I’m sure we took of the finished knives…..

The Ceres Burn was a fascinating source of a river’s “mood” and all the inhabitants that can live there. Our home-made fish traps allowed us to have a short look at the fish and release them without harm.

We had fun realising that no matter how well you explain something to another person they will nearly always understand it differently to how you do.

We love the cave at Craighall Den and went back in time for the Samhain festival to make charcoal and chalk paint for our cave art.

We enjoyed running around the woods to play Migration to learn about birds that migrate and where the countries are that they visit and migrate to.

The most perfect sculptures of an animals journey (do you know which one it is?) and the struggle between temperature and velocity. And some sculptures were just really cool!

We really appreciate Birnie Loch for its wildlife and all the nooks and crannies we find to play in. Each time we go we find something new!
