PORTGLENONE FOREST

P1 and P2 enjoyed their trip to Portglenone Forest on Wednesday 10th May. This was a Shared Education trip with the children from St Patrick’s Primary. Liz from Forest Services, had set up The Gruffalo trail for the children to follow. They enjoyed trying to work out the animals that the little mouse would meet, from the clues that were along the trail. They also enjoyed learning the names of trees and flowers as they walked along. They also loved the bluebells and were excitied to see the squirrels in the trees. Their morning finished with some den building.
