Another great month’s work with The Ulster Wildlife Trust.
The pupils have been very industrious making bird boxes and bird feeders. They enjoyed hanging up the feeders on trees within our grounds, ready for hungry birds during the winter months. Everyone was very excited when we had a visit from a barn owl and a hedgehog. We have created a hedgehog home in some bushes. We made clay models of the little hedgehog that visited. The pupils also learned about mini-beasts. We went on a mini-beast scavenger hunt and made a mini-beast hotel from wooden crates and logs. Hopefully will have some wildlife visiting Donard School very soon!

Our sibling’s group has been a great success.
The siblings have created masterpieces with Mount Ida Pottery, played games to get to know each other and had a ‘snowball fight’ to tell each other what they enjoyed. We look forward to seeing the group again on 28th February for a drumming workshop.
