A cross posting from my GCSE Natural History blog (what do you mean, you haven't visited it yet...)
I'm a great fan of Melissa Harrison's writing. I have a number of her books in my library and several of them will also be added to the suggested reading list for the course. Check out her fiction book "All Among the Barley" and her collection of nature pieces called 'The Stubborn Light of Things'. She has also channelled 'BB' with a pair of children's books based on the classic 'The Little Grey Men', who I have blogged about previously. I also have her book called 'Rain', capturing four walks. She has also produced a 4 volume series of seasonal almanacs.She is now working on a new app which will be launching in Summer 2024.
It sounds like it will be a very useful app for students to have on their own devices, and perhaps keep a nature diary during the course to track their observations and experiences. I think that would be a really nice idea for engagement with the natural world.
