On Tuesday morning the sun was shining ready for a very successful autumn walk, exploring The Denes. All staff and many volunteers commented on the excellent behaviour of the children.
During the walk we searched for signs of autumn, including conkers, leaves and acorns. Some children were shocked to find animals in the park; one child thought that she had seen a snake! Luckily it was a mini-beast – a very long worm! We also saw a snail and a very large slug!
Throughout the walk we followed clues until eventually we found a bear in the play area of the Tennis Dene. Much excitement followed when we saw him. On return to school the children voted on a name. Welcome to Ruby our new class bear.
When exploring our collection of objects back at school the children described their findings,
“I found a leaf – it changed colours. It’s yellow. It was on the ground.” Ella
“It is a conker, the shell it is so prickly!” Louis
“The bear was hiding in a tree, the clues were there. We found it!” Emily L
