Elsewhere, the children were involved in designing, making and testing contraptions to protect eggs as they were flung across a field and finding evidence of animals in the conservation area (footprints, food, fur, homes and droppings!) There certainly was a lot of evidence of badgers, foxes and deer!
Small, cosy mammal hotels have been left out over night to see if any mice or voles live in the area as well. Hopefully, we will have had some visitors overnight that we can carefully examine before releasing them back into the wild tomorrow.
Many games were also played that involved teamwork including having to draw a route through a maze blindfolded. Shortly, the teachers and Stubbington staff will be dressing up as pirates in a game where the children have to find the pirates around the grounds and through questioning,
Last night the first group to visited the hide were very fortunate to be greeted by a fox and two badgers!! Fingers crossed, the group visiting tonight will be as lucky!
