Camouflage

Today was all about camouflage for a group that love to get muddy! We started by playing a game of camouflage hide and seek. In teams, we hid a friend and thought about the colours we would need to use to camouflage them well. We were inspired by the caddisfly larva we saw on our Marriott's Way trip who live in ponds and cover themselves in sticks (they are really cool - worth a google!)

Phoebe's team did such a great job that even Mrs Crane needed help to find her! Can you spot her? She's in these photos!

Here she is!

This led to lots of children exploring camouflage in their free play. Elsewhere, mud slime production has continued, the children enjoy collecting their own rainwater from our water butts and getting the consistency 'just right!' I've been told you need equal amounts of water and mud. We've also seen lots of interest in tool use, the saw, gimlets and loppers have been out today and been used very responsibly. Thomas made a log slice and turned it into a necklace.

Next week we are having our cookout and the children can't wait! Watch this space...
