On Christmas Eve, we decorated a tree in our garden to make a Christmas tree for the birds. We put lard, bird seeds, sunflower hearts, grated cheese and oats in a bowl and we mixed it up. Then we used Christmas biscuit cutters to make it into shapes. We made some gingerbread men, some starsContinue reading “A Christmas Tree for the Birds”

Hedgehog Highways: The Board Game
I have made a new board game called Hedgehog Highways. It is about how to look after hedgehogs in your garden. You have to be a hedgehog and go through the gardens on the board looking for food, water and a mate and then get back to your home garden. But beware! In some ofContinue reading “Hedgehog Highways: The Board Game”
End Sewage Pollution
Did you know untreated sewage is getting released into rivers and the sea? Sewage is dirty water which might have wees and poos or harmful chemicals in it! It is released through Combined Sewer Overflows, which are supposed to be used for emergencies when it rains loads and loads but they’re being used all theContinue reading “End Sewage Pollution”
Big Wild Walk
We did the Big Wild Walk from 26th October to 1st November to raise money for The Wildlife Trusts. We had to choose our own walking challenge to do and ask people to sponsor us to raise money. We wanted it to be about wildlife so we decided to do an osprey walk. The ospreysContinue reading “Big Wild Walk”

The first time you use it you buy a glass bottle and fill it with milk using the machine and you keep reusing the same bottle every time you go there. Every timeContinue reading “Milk Machine”
The National Lobster Hatchery
Today we went to the National Lobster Hatchery in Padstow, Cornwall. If any fishermen catch mummy lobsters with eggs, they can take them to the National Lobster Hatchery and they will look after them until the eggs hatch and the baby lobsters have grown a bit. Then they will release them into the sea. WhenContinue reading “The National Lobster Hatchery”

Then you need to submit the results to Butterfly Conservation, who organise the survey. The results showed lessContinue reading “Big Butterfly Count Results”
Bat Rescue!
We were on a walk near Boscastle in Cornwall on holiday, then we found a bat on a gatepost. It didn’t look the right place for a bat to be so we phoned the National Bat Helpline on 0345 1300 228. They said the bat needed help. Mummy put the bat in a little softContinue reading “Bat Rescue!”
Upcycling a T-Shirt
I found a blue t-shirt in my chest of drawers and I didn’t really want to wear it because it was just plain. So I decided to make a hedgehog top out of it! First, me and Danny and Jake drew round our hands to make templates for the hedgehog’s prickles and I drew aContinue reading “Upcycling a T-Shirt”
