Nature provided us with lots of
intrigue this week as a dead bird was discovered on site. Some children were very
keen to examine the bird using gloves and looked closely at the different
parts. They used a tape measure to assess the size of the bird. We soon
discovered it was a seagull. One child stared, "I'll call you surgeon
squirrel, surgeon lion and surgeon jaguar."
A great adaptation to their
normal forest school names!
Others looked on from a distance and enjoyed
relaxing in the hammock, using the blind trail in pairs and lighting small
fires.
