Boggy blog!

It seems every day we're here, we experience different types of weather. This morning we woke to beautiful, crispy white fields of frost, so we all wrapped up very warmly!



We started the day with our watery/eggy/mucky activities and everyone has earned a new bead for their name badge.



After lunch, we ventured back into the wild wood, this time in search of the bogland. We started with a beautiful walk, spotting some special sights on the way. Look at the slideshow; can you spot the 2 headed horse-tree, the deer and the witches butter fungus?



On our journey into the woods we found some natural charcoal and turned ourselves into scary creatures! The peaceful surroundings meant we were able to listen to the trees and hear what they had to tell us. We also made a "circle of safety" out of gorse sticks before learning all about the fragile and enchanted habitat of the bogland. Most of us walked carefully onto the wobbly skin of the bog, and a few of us got a little muddy!



Our evening ended with a very special treat. "Puck's Bottom", a one man puppet show based on A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare. Josh, the puppeteer, not only gave an excellent performance, but he also taught us a "Fire Fairy" song that we learned in preparation for our bonfire tomorrow evening.



After our very exciting day, we've had our hot chocolate cookies and have gone to bed exhausted but happy!
