Our Bosca Dúlra Colour Hunt!

We have some exciting news to share! Our school was lucky enough to win a fantastic Bosca Dúlra (Nature Box) from Biodiversity in Schools.
Inside the box, we discovered a brilliant nature colour wheel, which gave us the perfect excuse to get out of the classroom and turn our school grounds into an outdoor laboratory. We headed outside for a Nature Colour Hunt, and the results blew us away!
🌈 A Rainbow in Our Own BackyardWe often walk past our school gardens and hedges every day, but looking through the lens of a colour wheel changed everything. We didn't just find "green" and "brown" we discovered that our school grounds are absolutely bursting with a hidden rainbow of biodiversity!
Here are some of the incredible colours our eagle-eyed students managed to spot:

• Green & Brown: The essential building blocks of our school ecosystem, from the rich soil to the fresh leaves hard at work making oxygen.
  
• White & Orange: Bright, cheerful flashes (like daisies and dandelions) acting like neon signs to welcome hungry bees and butterflies.
  
• Red & Purple: Exciting, deeper shades hidden away in clover blossoms, berries, and autumn leaves.
  

It was so exciting to discover all the different colours that we didn't even know existed right under our noses! Check out all our discoveries below!
