BeWILDerwood

Darwin had a lovely time at BeWILDerwood today. We all took a boat ride first and Mavis the Crocklebog made us all jump! Then we took off for the giant slides. Everyone had a go, except Mrs Bensly, who got to the top of the slide, then chickened out! We made our way through the park, climbing ladders, walking across rope bridges, solving the maze and sliding down more slides, until we got to the story telling area, where we ate our picnic while listening to a BeWILDering tale. We all enjoyed the sandwiches and wraps that we'd made, then munched on apples and chocolate cornflakes cakes. Mrs Haylock and Mr Duncan went through the Tricky Tunnels with the children and then we headed back for some more giant sliding. Mrs Bensly finally had a slide and got a cheer, then we went shopping. The shop was very full, but we were all happy with our purchases. Tired, but happy, we went back to the bus and had a safe journey home. Great day!

Charlie &Abigail's Report on Hunting

Hunting is OK

Hunting is ok sometimes.  We think that hunting is good when you need to protect yourself and your family.  For example if you were camping in the woods and a fox attacks you then you can kill it. Hunting is ok when animals are becoming extinct.  Like the water voles are disappearing because the minks are eating them.  It is ok for a hunter to kill the minks to protect the voles.  If you hunt an animal you have to use the whole animal because they have to die with dignity and it will be a waste.  If you’re camping out in a forest and you have nothing to eat you have to kill a deer and make venison.
