Wonderous Wednesday!!

What a fantastic day Year 4 and 5 have had on our third fun filled day at Minstead!

After a fabulously hearty breakfast, the round robin activities of pond dipping, muck raking and looking after the chickens began in earnest. There were some amazing pond creatures discovered in the local stream; lots of home grown leeks pulled out and eaten up on the fields and 'eggs-citing' experiments carried out in the classroom. If you don't know just how strong an ordinary chicken's egg is just ask one of our newly qualified 'eggs-perts'-you'll be amazed!!

The latter part of the day was just as marvellous!! After a robust march into the forest, where we listened to Beethoven's 5th Symphony through the medium of the trees (really!), we went for a knee trembling walk across the boglands!! Luckily, we all managed to survive-some only just!!



The evening was spent creating a magnificent shadow puppet performance. The children were shown how to create different movement and shadow effects by Sue, a local expert. The results were SPECTACULAR-as you can see from some of the photos. We have been so inspired we can not wait to share our new skill with everyone back home.

Roll on 'Terrific Thursday'!
