The ECO squad had a great camp over at Rowley HIll Farm last weekend!
Here are some qoutes from the children: "I really enjoyed the camping trip, rummaging in the meadow, exploring in the forest and roasting marshmallows." "I loved seeing all the nature and walking in the forest." "I loved whacking a path through the woods."
An area of the woods had not been touched for over a year, so the children had to use a stick to clear a path through the undergrowth.
We explored the wild flower meadow and found some rare wildflowers. We found Broomrape flowers and Bee Orchids.
We went on a spooky walk through the woods then had toasted marshmallows.
The next day we were challenged to make a wild flower rainbow.
On a walk around the Farm we noticed the soil layer and had a great discussion about how precious it is. The picture says it all.
We were so proud of all the children! a
