In July we had a fantastic visit up to Kidlandlee.
The sun was out but there was still a good breeze so we were able to see the solar panels and wind turbine in action!
The children learnt all about Terri and Matthew’s plans for new wildlife areas including a wild flower area especially for bees. We learnt about how goats willow rotated with lavender means that bees have access to flowers all the time from when they wake up from hibernation!
We made our own seed bombs to attract and encourage bees and other insects to our gardens at home. We looked at the habitats of long grass areas compared to a woodland and a pond area. We were delighted with the variety of creatures that we found in the pond including many tadpoles, small frogs, back swimmers, newts and some unidentified giant beetles.
We also took part in a wonderful fairy school with Fairy Fern and made fairy doors and wands. A truly magical experience!
Thank you to Terri, Matthew, Kathy, Jess and Nikki (Fairy Fern) for being such wonderful hosts to us. We can’t wait to visit again soon.
There will two quiz nights in aid of Harbottle School – Monday 3rd & 17th October at 8.00pm held in the Star Inn.
Please come along and support these events and thank you to Karen for hosting it for us.

The children put together a wonderful display of work they have been doing on climate issues and activities they have taken part in at Kidlandlee.
The children did very well in the competitions at Harbottle Show this year and lots of prizes were won.
The Friends of Harbottle School held a car boot sale and we raised £96.28 – thank you to all who helped, donated and bought!

The last food challenge of this school year and Mrs Rogers produced some nasturtiums for them to try. Some were a little surprised to be asked to eat a flower, but everyone had a try and some came back for a second one!
