Getting to know the village...
It's been a really busy day in the New Forest!
One group got their feet wet again in the Fleetwater stream. We borrowed many creatures from the stream so that we could look at them carefully under microscopes, identify them, learn about how they live and then put them back again....jpg)
We found this creature, and you can see what's special about it by watching the video...
...isn't it fantastic? (If you know what it is, you can leave a comment for us!)
We also went into the village of Minstead. (We had special help on the journey from Edelweiss - that's Miss Beavill to you and me!) In the churchyard, we found the grave of a very famous author....JPG)
- if you know what books he wrote, you can leave us a comment... the pipe is a clue!
In the evening, we were helped out by Delphinus who came to visit us from Oakwood too. (Mrs Barr!)
We made gruesome faces from clay, which we will fire in the fire on Thursday night..JPG)
We also made colourful bandanas, each with a pattern made from two motifs which tell a story of Minstead. We'll wear them at the camp fire too!.JPG)
And have you ever wondered what Mrs Whitmarsh's wellies look like?.jpg)
Well, now you know!

Wow! Year four have been very busy! I really enjoyed my afternoon looking at Minstead village centre and the church. I hope you all have a fantastic time on the rest of your trip.
