Singing in the rain! The rain was steady and warm which made it easy to splash about, collecting rain drops and setting leaves to sail in muddy puddles. The red tent served us well as a dry resting spot and snacking area.

Lana, Nyasiah and Anya sample the rain from the sky. Eric collects water.

Anya in the mood for a song!

Noticing reflections in the puddles and patterns from the rain drops.

The bark, looking a lot like skin.

Special visitors, Shai with Amos snuggled inside his jacket! Proud big brother standing near. 

We found a few of these cicada shells from the tree. We talked about the life cycle of a cicada.

Dontrelle taking a closer look at the cicada shell.

We found a shelter under the bush, and knew this would be a good place to stay drier.

James found a vine and was determined to figure out away to cut it, or break it. 

Ericka had some ideas to break the vine as well.

Reading the Cliveden sign.

Working together to break the vine.

James and Ericka figured out that wrapping the vine around metal works better.

Eventually it did break, after a lot of trial and error.

We stood for 3 minutes in silence at our chosen trees, using our four senses. Sight, hearing, touch and smell.

Nyasiah in her grove of trees for the three minutes of silence.

Peyton and Lana quiet and still.

By the end of our time we could see the fog moving in, before heading to Forest school we read a story about clouds, fog and weather.
