GREEN-FINGERED children from South Walney Infant and Nursery School learned about nature during a visit to Allotment Soup.

(Image: SCMAT) More than 50 pupils braved the rainy weather to enjoy time at the Allotment Soup project on Walney.

(Image: SCMAT) The Year Two pupils took part in a bioblitz workshop to identify as many species of plants, animals and other organisms as possible.

Representatives from project leaders Art Gene later visited the school to host a drawing workshop with the pupils.

The school is an associate member of South Cumbria Multi-Academy Trust.
