What a surprise present today: Ruduo and Menuo brought in the dried up body of a large dead hedgehog! We had a good look at its little feet and its skeleton and spines.
Then we had a rather damp walk across the Flats to see if we could spot any skylarks and collected lots of different shaped leaves on the way. We particularly like the big clumps of Rosebay Willowherb, whose leaves were turning a lovely deep shade of Autumn red. The stalks were taller than us. Apparently some people make tea out of the leaves.Then we made Leafy Lanterns. We stuck our colourful leaves on the outside of jam jars, and made a handle and put a tealight inside. Very pretty if a bit sticky!
Seven children today.
