Wednesday 18th May

Today started with another filling breakfast!

This morning we went down to Studland Nature Reserve and looked at the different habitats in the area! We were looking at the difference between the beach, sand dunes and the woods. Kevin our guide told us that the nature reserve is home to all the British Reptiles. 

We then caught the coach to Corfe, where we stopped for lunch and some fun in the park. Corfe castle was next on the agenda and, even though it was a bit soggy we learnt a lot, for example: the history of the castle- from the Normans to the Civil War. Although we were cold, we asked some great questions and found out some interesting facts. Liz our guide commented on how brilliantly behaved we were and how well we listened and therefore awarded us all with a Dorset Diamond. 

After that, we went on the Steam train. We loved looking at the views and writing some poetry: 

Corfe Steam Train by Fletcher, Emanuil, Charlie D and Evan

On the way to the train,

There was a lot of rain.

It took us a while,

But we still had a smile.

The porters dressed smart,

Old fashioned like art.

The whistles they blew,

We knew what to do.

We lined up straight,

And waites at the gate.

We went and sat down,

There was a guy with a frown...

A quick stop at the beach then it was time for dinner, unfortunately for us this is where Mr Smith had to leave us. We had a great time with him and appriciate all his help and hard work, it was sad to see him go.

We then quickly changed and lined up ready for the beach and to our surprise, Ms Griffiths happened to be at the door. At the beach we all really enjoyed working in our teams to compete in the sandcastle compition, where we all created so mavellous sand sculptures. 

All in bed ready for tomorrow!
