P4/5 had another marvellous morning at Old Melrose. We made ‘water runs’ in teams, learned about fire safety, toasted marshmallows, explored and tried out leaf bashing on fabric. #StBoswellsInspires

A fantastic afternoon at Old Melrose. P6/7 developed their teamwork and communication skills working together to design and make a water chute, they learned how to get colour from leaves in their leaf rubbings and enjoyed a campfire with toasted marshmallows. #StBoswellsInspires

The rain failed to dampen the spirits of P4/5 today at Old Melrose. We enjoyed learning about minibeasts, vertebrates and invertebrates and carefully seeing how many we could find. #StBoswellsInspires #tweedwatch
