We have been quite busy this week, so I thought I would cover the last 4 days in this post.
On Tuesday at Nature Detectives after a walk in the woods looking for materials, June made a bird's nest using clay, twigs, moss and feathers. Unfortunately I don't have a photo but will post one here if I get one next week.
Afterwards we all checked on the progress of the tadpoles:
Some of them are developing legs already.
Here's a photo of the life cycle of frogs that December made:
On Wednesday we spent a lot of time in the garden. I was cutting back some blackberry brambles that were getting a bit enthusiastic in their spread across the hedges and December and June were watching ants, which have been busy building a nest just outside our back door.
Yesterday (Thursday) December did some more work on her John Muir Award and Bronze Arts Award by creating a detailed model of a butterfly, using straws, masking tape, PVA glue, newspaper and acrylic paints:
Here's a photo of the life cycle of butterflies that December created recently:
Today (Friday) has been very overcast and humid with heavy rain showers so the children spent about half an hour running around the garden in the rain trying to catch rain drops in their mouths (with some success!) They came in soaked and demanding hot chocolate (!) and biscuits, so it's safe to say that this has definitely been a happy week of wild activities :)
