Today 1st class were invited to take part in some acorn picking as organised by the Nature Trust in Ballygannon wood in Rathdrum. We began the day with a cosy bus ride to Ballygannon where we had fun chatting to our friends about the trip ahead. When we arrived we had a little snack before we were taken on a guided tour of the woods. We were given identification keys to show us some of the trees/berries/nuts we might see on our journey. We had great fun exploring the woods.

When our guided tour ended we had fun drawing pictures of our most exciting finds during the day before we enjoyed a delicious hot chocolate. The boys and girls would like to say a huge thank you to the Nature Trust for your invitation for today, we had a fantastic time!
