NATURE QUEST July 20th 2014
My first Nature Quest
I went to Nature Quest with my mummy and my brother, he is 2 and I am 5. I met Granny there and helped hand-out their bright yellow jackets; Grandpa gave me a really big sticker which said I was a Nature Detective.My first challenge was to catch four fish with a rod and hook. It was easy-peasy and I wrote their names down myself.
I liked making the weather chart best, because I like colouring and it was fun. You can see a picture of all the people making them but you can't see me and Daniel. The pond dipping was fun too, but mummy thought Daniel was going to fall in the water. I caught two types of snail and a tadpole which had actually got legs! Can you see me in the photo?
I made a candle out of bees wax and I could answer the questions about bees all by myself. Actually I guessed one of the answers. I gave my lovely candle to my teacher because I am not going to be in her class any more.
The Willow-man helped me make a star shape. You can see a photo of him helping a little girl. Granny said she would like it for her Christmas tree. I thought the grass-fishing was hard (bug hunting) because I only had a little net and only found a ladybird with 6 spots. Next time I hope I get one of the big nets.
With the Guides I made a bird with ribbon legs and button feet and I also saw a real Guide tent. A man gave me a balloon which looked like a mouse which he could make jump, but mine burst into pieces.
Daniel and I ran around looking for all the bird pictures and the last thing I did was plant a seed. My pot tipped up inside Granny's bag but she put it together again. I watered it like the man said but it hasn't grown yet.
I liked Nature Quest and I want to come again next year.
