However we return this month with some extra activities to make up for the rest time.

On Sunday 16th February we will meet in the community garden for a garden birds session which will include activities from RSPB, Scottish Wildlife Trust and Nature Detectives.

On Sunday 1st March we will have a Treasure Tracking session for wildling wannabe Pirates! This will not be at the community garden but rather a guided walk and activities.

More information will be posted on our Facebook pages nearer the time but please do email me if you’d like more information before then.

The mud kitchen was busy in action for leaf pies and muddy potions, chalk art on the pathway, dancing with apple scented bubbles provided by our ladybird bubble machine and a spot of tree climbing was the order of the afternoon.

Our craft activity was inspired by the lovely Jaimie MacDonald from Greening Gorebridge who donated some prepared boxes for making automata . We had a very creative afternoon using up old flower and nature magazines, wooden skewers and paper straws to create some great moving scenes including owls swooping over landscapes, butterflies fluttering around gardens and even a teddy bear enjoying a picnic. Hop over to our Facebook page ‘Woodland Wildlings’ to see some of the finished results.

Our next session will be on Sunday the 29th September where we hope to go for a nature ramble. For more information you can follow our Facebook page or contact lorna.lagerman@gorebridge.org.uk
