Today we enjoyed cooking on our fire. We started quickly before the forecast rain could hit but to our surprise the day turned out to be warm and dry. After making a lunch of delicious pizzas and yummy pancakes we decided to explore our pond one last time (this group of children will soon be off to school). We managed to catch a newt and everyone bravely held it. It was the very first newt Kirsten had ever seen!

Once we were tidy and we had placed our newt back into the pond, we chatted about what we would like to do with the rest of our day. The children decided they wanted to venture down into the meadows. They thoroughly enjoyed. running through the vast space the meadows provide us. We looked at some of the flowers which were growing and discovered we had lots and lots of clover. The children counted the leaves on the clover plants and Lisa challenged everyone to find a four leaf clover. It was going to be a tricky job but we were up for the challenge. One child spotted a moth on the ground and gently put his arm out. To his surprise, the moth began crawling up his arm! It was huge!

Sadly, no one found a four leaf clover (even though some children tried to make their own) but we did find some ants and a fairy house!
