Return to Muddisdale and The LIDL Bus


We returned to Muddisdale to finish a few activities we didn't have time for last week.
We looked at the biodiversity of the trees and plants and minibeasts. We found that the best place for large numbers and  different types of minibeasts was in the leaf litter.
The place with the least biodiversity of plants and animals was the grass.
We found a place that was full of wildflowers and different plants and decided that it had been too wet to make into a field so had been left wild. Muddisdale woods was planted in a field and the grass and clover that the farmer had sown on the field was still going strong! 
The grass is mown too which helps it look green and tidy, but we found most biodiversity in plants and animals in the long grass. 
We also found a good example of slime mould - it could be 'dog's vomit' or it might be the species discovered by Glaitness pupils which we named 'troll snot'. 
Can you spot it in the collage above?

We are pleased with our journey sticks and willow weaving - they will remind us of the plants we saw on our trip today.


In the afternoon we visited the LIDL bus to make healthy smoothies which were delicious too.
We measured our heart rates before and after some exercises and games and found out how much harder our hearts work when we exercise.

  21. I had a great time at muddisdale for the second time. I really liked looking at the minibeasts I would like it more if midgies stopped biting me. I found tons of minibeasts I was happy. At the Lidl bus we where split into 2 groups. First my group used watch things we used them to check our heart rate mine was 94 then we played some games After we checked our heart rate again mine was 126 after we went on the bus to make smoothies my smoothie was made out of cut up strawberry cut up pineapple and around 10 to 15 blueberries and apple juice. I had a great time. Aiden

  24. muddisdale trip and lidl bus
    On our trip to muddisdale we hade a hoop and we put it somewhere under a tree`s because we found more minibeast`s in the part`s that were dark but that meant that their was a lot of midgies.Im allergic so I went out of the tree`s and I was looking for minibeast`s out where it was light. I found quite a lot of spider web`s and near the spider web WAS A HUGE SPIDER! Afterwards we went on a nature trail we used magnifying glasses we were looking out for different kind of tree`s ,plant`s and flower`s. After the nature trail. We went back to have snack and then we made journey stick`s and wand`s. When we went back to school to have lunch and then it was break time. After break we went on the lidl health bus. We split into two group`s. our group were checking our heart rate`s on a watch. Every time I did it it said I hade no heart. And finally it worked. My heart rate is 76. We played some game`s to get warmed up. Then we checked our heart rate`s again. We ended giving up on mine because it kept saying I hade no heart. From Aneisha

  25. In the afternoon we went on the LIDL Health bus. We were split into two groups and my group went on the bus and the other group played a game outside.When we went on the bus we had to put aprons on and went to the top of the bus and we made smoothies. I put in strawberries and melon and apples and apple juice. It was really good. Then we went outside and switched over and my group went to measure our heart rates. I loved going on the LIDL bus. It was very fun. Cierra
