Backwoods Belinda
Today the volunteers at WPIT had a visitor from Billy's teammate - Belinda. She said that even though they hadn't captured any animals on camera yet, she knew they were there. She brought with her some owl pellets to see if we could help her understand which creatures owls eat. So we set to work investigating with our very special tools and identification charts.

Nocturnal animal guide books
WPIT made some guide books to help Backwoods Billy Baxter learn about British nocturnal animals. We found out about their tracks and the sounds they make. More information coming soon Billy!
Here are Phoebe, Isla, Declan and Harrison's ibooks. More coming soon!
Our wonderful school!
After we sketched the school a few weeks ago, we made some fantastic clay plaques! We had to be really patient because they had to go in the kiln twice. This was because they needed firing again after we had glazed them. What do you think of them?

Poor Old Billy!
Poor old Billy had a bit of an accident last night! He went out on his bike at night to look for some urban foxes, but fell off and hurt his wrist! Poor Billy!
We weren't sure exactly how it happened, but we had some good ideas about why he might have fallen off his bike. We thought he might have hit a log in the road, been hit by a car reversing out of a driveway, knocked off his bike by a fox and lots of other things! We also did some thought tracking about his feelings and decided he probably wasn't very happy. Poor Billy.
So we thought of some top tips for Billy to be safe and be seen! Look below for our posters too!
Here are our posters with advice for Backwoods Billy Baxter!
