There we are Thursday!

Yet another fun packed day here at Minstead. Its been a day of amazing discoveries, flickering flames, more fabulous Oakwood story telling and a case of 'scary chicken love'!

The group pond dipping this morning unearthed some incredibly rare freshwater creatures which included a Diving Beetle larva, Water Scorpion and a Greater Water Boatman. We learnt this from Nicky, a visitor to the centre. She informed us that we were incredibly lucky to have discovered these creatures, as they would only live in places where the water and air quality were extremely clean. She told us they were indicators of just how unpolluted the local area at Minstead was.

After dinner we all got together to re-tell their very own special Minstead story called 'Once Upon a Minstead'. We rehearsed many times ready for our performance tomorrow. Don't worry the Minstead group will also perform their story in assembly after half term. Excellent work!

We ended the day with a deep, dark walk to the blazing bonfire. We thoroughly enjoyed singing songs from school around the campfire and listening to creepy stories. Let's hope visitors to your door in the night have feet!!!

Just before we go - ask Miss Hutchinson if chickens like 'lime green wellies'?

Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
