Scottish Bird Camp 2025 – applications now open!

The Scottish Ornithologists’ Club and British Trust for Ornithology have just opened applications for young nature enthusiasts, ages 10 – 16 years, to apply to take part in the Scottish Bird Camp 2025 – a fully-funded weekend at the end of May, in East Lothian – learning about Scotland’s birds among like-minded others. There will be a varied programme of activities across the weekend which, depending on the weather, may include a seabird boat trip, ringing demo, nature reserve visit, nest finding and learning to identify bird songs and calls. The deadline for applications is Sunday 30 March 2025 at 5pm.

Masterclasses

Masterclasses are back for 2025!

Our Masterclass Programme for P3 to P7 started back last week with various skills based classes for the children to choose from. This time around we have the following activities on offer-  bridge, cycling, Chinese cooking, Stop Motion Animation, Book Group, STEM Lego Challenge, sewing, traditional games, Garage Band, Fitness, STEM Challenge and chess.

The Sorries Scots Assembly

We all enjoyed a very special Scots Assembly to launch our Scots Focus Fortnight with ‘The Sorries’ who led us in music and song performances. We also listened to  Scots poetry recitals from P4 and P6, and a rendition of ‘Auld Lang Syne’ from P7.

Our P4 to P7 classes also enjoyed a Bodrum drumming workshop led by Douglas as part of this special day.
