Year 5 Explore Wildlife and Farming at the Bigwood Estate 13th February 2026 Uncategorised The Year 5s spent a wonderful morning at the Bigwood Estate. The children enjoyed learning about the different types of ladybirds and where they can be found hibernating in woodland. The children had the opportunity to explore the wooded areas around the estate where they discovered newts and different types of fungi such as the jelly eared fungus and the Turkey Tail fungus. They also met some new calves that form part of the Riggit Galloway herd, a rare breed of cows. Farmer David was constantly on hand to answer the children’s questions which were many and thought provoking!
