Out Trip to the Countryside Education Trust - Bats.

We also had an incredible day at the Countryside Education Trust in Beaulieu! 

Our day was a little different to the Adders. Our first activity was a 'Mole Walk'. The children loved pretending to be moles as they attempted to navigate around a trail with a mask on that covered their eyes.

              

Our next activity was a 'Squirrel Run'. The children had to focus on their balance as they attempted to walk along a branch without falling! After that, each group became a family of badgers and had to find out how many pots share their family smell.

The children then had to become foxes and rabbits for the next activity as they chased each other through a burrow.

Our last activity before lunch involved the children becoming bees and having a relay race to try and collect the most nectar. They really enjoyed doing the 'bee wiggle' to tell their bee friends they have found good nectar.

    

Once we had eaten we participated in a fun bird call game. The children had to guess the bird from the sound it made!
We then made our way back outside and had some great fun pond dipping. The children really enjoyed finding newts and other exciting creatures. 

       

     

Due to having so much fun as rabbits and foxes before lunch, the children asked really politely to have another go on the burrow chase!

      

We then headed back to have another go at the bird call game with the Adders. The children and adults really enjoyed their day. We are so grateful to all of the volunteers and the Beaulieu staff for making it such a great day.
