I am proud to present my latest article in @theASE Primary Science magazine, which describes our school’s inspiring @NatureFSchools journey and the equally inspiring people and organisations who have helped us. Thank you. Read about our journey on burlingtonnfnews.edublogs.or…
I’ve just found this board for a game amongst some possessions I haven’t looked at for possibly a decade or two. I must have rescued it from being thrown out. But what is its name? Can anyone help? @BoardGamesPER @play_boardgames @BoardGameGeek @BoardgamesDaily @boardgamesjames

We have just held our first school @pokemon tournament, facilitated by @MightyLGames (thank you so much) to create an exciting battle between a dozen pupils. Everybody was a winner and all are eager to battle again. @PokemonTCG @PokemonTCGUK #pokemon

Our new greenhouse was officially opened this afternoon, very kindly donated by Mrs Jordan . Her grandchildren will use the greenhouse, nicknamed ‘Roy’, for years to come. @RHSSchools @YorksWildlife @TheTreeCouncil #TeamWilder #ForceForNature

@30DaysWild Day 17 - Think about what would happen if it didn’t rain any more. We are taking part in the RHS Grow With It task of growing plants and monitoring their water use. It has raised a lot of talk and questions about how we use water. @YorksWildlife @RHSSchools

@30DaysWild Day 16 - Find a leaf that has been nibbled by something. There were lots of nibbled leaves - signs that the insects had been visiting, or possibly something bigger…… @YorksWildlife @WildlifeTrusts @RHSSchools @TheTreeCouncil #TeamWilder #ForceForNature

@30DaysWild Day 15 - Breathe in and out - can you taste the air? Yes they could - it tasted ‘sweet’; ‘earthy’; ‘like a cloud’ or ‘I don’t know how to describe it, but it has a taste’. @YorksWildlife @WildlifeTrusts @RHSSchools @TheTreeCouncil #TeamWilder #ForceForNature

@30DaysWild Day 18 - Listen for a buzzing sound. What is it? Of course, we found many bees in our garden, field and meadow areas, including where they lived in holes in the ground. Our school loves bees. @YorksWildlife @WildlifeTrusts @RHSSchools @TheTreeCouncil @BumblebeeTrust

We enjoyed showing the Bridlington in Bloom Committee around our school and nature areas, as part of Bridlington’s Yorkshire in Bloom entry. We hope to meet the judges in July. @YorkshireBloom @bridtowncouncil @RHSSchools @The_RHS @YorksWildlife @TheTreeCouncil #TeamWilder

It is my birthday today 🥳
My wife says I am too old for candles on my cake as it would resemble a forest fire 🫤

Great to meet Cllr Angela Walker today (left) and show our school nature sites, discussing the possibilities of how @East_Riding and Burlington Juniors can work together to sow, grow, plant and promote trees in our local community. @TheTreeCouncil @YorksWildlife @bridtowncouncil

Our pupils, catching wild Pokémon…
It was very busy at our Pokémon Club this lunchtime. Seasoned players were teaching the novices how to play and battled it out. @pokemon @PokemonNewsUK Thank you for all of your support @MightyLGames

That time a horse sneaked into a cycling race
In 1997, a horse jumped over a fence and joined the peloton of the of the Critérium International, eventually passing it, leaving the race only 20 km from the finish line.

So sad. The importance of nature-awareness from a young age gains increasing urgency.
We are shocked and desperately saddened to learn that the famous Sycamore Gap tree at Hadrian's Wall has been felled overnight, in what appears to be an act of vandalism.
We know just how much this iconic tree is loved locally, nationally and by everyone who has visited.
We are working with our partners to understand what has happened and what can be done.
The incident has also been reported to the police.
ALT Sycamore Gap. A tree grows between two small hills on a summer's day.

We had a wonderful time at @YorkshireWP last week - stayed at the Hive - great breakfast - very hot and sunny but got to meet loads of animals including the Amur Leopard - Emily had done a school project on this. The Amur Tiger greeted us - the Okapis were amazing. #leopards
The pupils were so excited about going and being there (as was I). Thank you.
Very exciting to visit @nplschool and view their new polytunnel, joined by the Mayor, The Lord Feoffees and @Steezy78. We had a tour of the school grounds and then hunted for potatoes. @bridtowncouncil @RHSSchools @TreeCouncil @YorksWildlife @BridFreePress @bridlingtonecho
