Tuesday's adventures in the wind and rain

Hello from wet and muddy Minstead! We are enjoying our first full day here - the weather may be horrible but we have been having so much fun, we haven't even noticed!

We started the day with a very hearty breakfast of cereal, apple juice, orange juice, scrambled eggs, bacon AND toast with jam! It was a great way to give the energy we would need for such a busy day!

Today we split into three smaller groups for the first part of the day. One group became Aquatic Adventurers and did some brilliant pond dipping, another group were Muckmovers and discovered how recycle and the final group were our Egglayers, who got to learn all about Minstead Study Centre's chickens and how to look after them (they said it was tremendously eggciting....)

In the afternoon we eggsplored (sorry) Minstead village centre...



...including the church which is 739 years old. We also looked at the grave of a very famous author who is buried there. We got the chance to be creative in the evening by designing clay monsters and decorating glass lanterns. (You can go for an explore yourself using the streetview above! Can you find your way back to the Study Centre, Mrs Worley?)
