Monday 7th September

Blue sky, warm sun, trickling streams, donkeys, cows, ponies, prickly bushes, squelchy bogs, mud and poo! Oh and 35 children! Red class have had a fantastic first day at Minstead!

After arriving and unpacking, we headed straight out into the forest for a fun-filled forest walk.  The first exciting event was ditch-walking, where some of the children were lucky enough to spot a beautiful grass snake!

  

The children enjoyed sploshing in puddles and getting stuck in the mud; they also fed stones to the troll under the bridge!

   

The children enjoyed the beautiful views of the forest and were brave enough to tread the bog bare footed!

    

The children have all collected an ‘earth stone’ and have been given names of the forest which they are wearing as a necklace.  The children have begun to learn about the great variety of animals and creatures that live in the new forest and so have earnt their first bead; the ‘biodiversity’ bead.

                

Will the children sleep well after this tiring adventure? …
