We discovered a pond snail which had laid eggs, the eggs were like small, jelly-like slugs which are see-through.

The children all enjoyed using their magnifying glasses and pots to take a closer look at all the interesting creatures we found.🌳
This afternoon, the children in class 2 cooked nettle soup, toast and jacket potatoes on the campfire. Our recipe for Nettle soup was: a bowlful of nettles, 2 large potatoes, 1 onion, vegetable stock, 500ml of boiling water, and mixed herbs.
The benefits of eating nettles: They provide significant health benefits, acting as a nutrient-dense superfood rich in vitamins A,C,K and essential minerals like iron, calcium and magnesium. They reduce inflammation, support joint health, alleviate seasonal allergies, boost immunity and help manage blood pressure.
Some children really enjoyed the taste of the nettle soup and some didn’t, but at least they all gave it a try! Well done.
