Resting today after the mad dash this week, to finish my TMA3 for L185 about 'Health' I really enjoyed studying this topic and I learnt a lot! Next topic will be about the environment - canals and rivers. I must admit I don't know a lot about this subject, despite living in a rural location. I think the canals or reservoirs may be on farming land around here. I don't know if they are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the rivers and canals or if it is the council.
When my aunt wanted to save a little woodland area near her home, she and other residents on the estate had to apply to the council at the town hall. They got together a petition and gathered the names of all residents who wanted to keep the woodland and that it would not be sold to a property developer. There was also a lovely green area adjoining it and this has been left natural too. My aunt died so I don't know what happened next, but they managed to save the wood. As far as I know, I think the council are still looking after it. There are nesting boxes in there for the birds, and places for hedgehogs and badgers. It is not far from the open fields and footpaths. I once saw a pair of squirrels climbing the trees in the wood together. It was amazing!
So this week I will be reading about the environment, also I have to read some more scientific information. I was not very strong at science at school, but I do like nature, the outdoors and the environment.
I have to read through Block 4 and find all the relevant information about the subject and read and take notes for the TMA 4, I then have to make a recorded presentation. Interesting but nerve wracking!
