Bug Hunting

Friday afternoon was a rather chaotic afternoon as the school was celebrating Sports Relief and the children were doing penalty shoot outs on the field. We managed to get our groups together, but spent a lot of time popping our heads over the fence towards the field to see which class was out, and sending the corresponding child over to take their penalty kick!
We decided to do a bug hunt, mainly as a lot of children will run off squealing as they've touched a slug or a spider has crawled up them.  So we wanted to get up close and personal to the mini beasts that hang out in our garden.  It was a fascinating afternoon as we found spider eggs and three cocoons in our bird hide, as well as slugs, woodlouse and lots of worms.  The children loved it.
Mrs Bailey popped up for a visit and instantly got kidnapped by the children, who insisted on giving her a personal guided tour of the garden.  It was lovely to see her - she got a full update of everything that's happening in the garden - later, the children cut some daffodils for Mrs Bailey's office and Taylor presented Mrs Laycock with some daffodils too.  She was delighted with the thoughtfulness of it.
