I like the wildlife club because it is always fun. I also like the trips we go on to Cramond and Cammo and what we do like making bramble smoothies and face paint. Gus and Sarah run the club and they are really nice. We play games like catch the flag and hide and seek. Gus also lets us play games that we choose. When it has been raining all day or the weather is bad, Gus always has something for us to do indoors like quizzes, making bird food balls, guess what’s in the tray, or animal masquerades. I have learned a lot about nature and that Davidson’s Mains Park has much wildlife in it. I often take my family to see what we have found in the park. In the summer we go on a wildlife cycle which is fantastic. The wildlife club is amazing but we need more girls because, including Sarah, there is only five of us.

In September I joined the Wildlife Club run by Gus and Sarah, who are both really nice. I was keen to start as I had heard it was lots of fun. I was not disappointed! Since joining I have learned lots about wildlife and had a great time while doing it. Every week we do something different like looking for signs of wildlife, going on scavenger hunts, outdoor art and playing lots of games. My favourite is 'Catch the Flag' which we play in the woods. The best session so far has been when we went on a cycle safari. We rode along the cycle path towards Cramond, searching for evidence of wildlife such as chewed acorns and animal droppings. It was quite hard work but very interesting. When we got there we found badger setts. If you enjoy learning about wildlife and exploring the woods and river banks you will enjoy the club too.

Over the past few weeks the wildlife Rangers, Gus and Laura have been looking for wildlife in the forest at the back of Davidson’s Mains Primary School.
