We were really lucky to have the opportunity of attending a FREE nature day- organised for schools but our group was allowed to attend as a school (Wow- pretty amazing for around us!!)- so that we had x2 session then some guided scavenger type hunts. We started with pond dipping- which they loved but unfortunately the pond we were dipping with had too many fish in (!!!- apparently that is bad?!)- so we didn't see an awful lot- but they still enjoyed. We saw some frog and toad spawn (must admit I hadn't really ever realised that toad had toad spawn by a similar process).
We then moved onto a Bees and Meadow session- a bee keeper showed them the inside of a hive- complete with phots of what they would see and textures of what they would feel. They tasted honey from early season and late season honey- and wow you really could taste the difference!
They also made huge paperplate sunflower- which looked really effective (some of the older boys seriously didnt approve though!!).
We then hung around a while and played on the park but there was a bit of a horror of a boy that I wanted to separate SJ from- so we went....
