First Day of Forest School September 21, 2016 Cliveden

Dontrelle has a look in the hole.
There was a great deal of interest in who might live in multiple holes around this large tree.

String was used to create lures and "friendly traps" with carrots tied on one end.

Lots of organization on how to find this mystery animal,
that we figured out is most likely a ground hog.

Speculation and waiting.

There were many different ideas on how to attract or lure this creature.



Koen discovers burrs attached to his shoe laces.

We find the plant where the burrs grow, and talk about how they
attach to animal's fur or people's shoe laces.

Discovering pine needles, and how silky and prickly they can be.

Anya and Koen in a thicket looking for treasure. 

Behind Cliveden Nahiem and Koen discover a rain barrel. We talk about how
the rain water drains from the roof through the gutter.

The spigot is found to wash hands and....

We create a river! Using our feet to try to block or stop it.

Nahiem creates a bridge with his legs.

Mushrooms found in a wood pile. We are reading
Alice in Wonderland and we talk about if the Caterpillar
might live here!

Lana and Eric chat.

Izzy and Eric waiting for the "catch." Or the presence of the mysterious animal.
