3W have had a great first day at Minstead in the beautiful New Forest. Our first adventure was a long walk through the forest, through the 'ditch of doom' and along winding paths. The trees were stunning in shades of yellows, oranges and reds and many leaves were collected on our journey!We learnt about animals, plants and trees that are native to this area and everyone has been given a new Latin name...anyone know what 'cervus ' is?
Our new name is now worn on a necklace and as we complete activities about the environment and the world we live in, we will collect beads. The children are very excited that these will be coming home with them!
After a scrumptious tea (which EVERYONE devoured) we learned a bit more about our new Latin name then ventured off into the dark night in search of the fire. Stories were told and songs sung in the dark roundhouse with just the fire to light the evening. 
It is now just before 9pm and having had a hot chocolate and story before bedtime, half the children are already asleep ready for more adventures tomorrow.
Looks epic you guys.
