On a scorching hot day in September, class 3 visited an amazing forest called Cannock Chase, in search of a stream. We discovered some unexpected sights too! ….
We all walked along the stoney trail to the river, which seemed to go on forever! Phew!
Mrs. Sproston noticed two Stags walking amongst the bracken! Wow! What an unforgettable sight! Mrs Copestake wasn’t quick enough with the camera though!
On arriving at the river, we began sketching our sections. The river was lovely and clear with what Lucio thought was a lobster! Ha Ha! (It was a Crayfish really!) And later on , he also shouted out PANTHER! but it was a black cat! ha ha!
Next we measured the depth, width and velocity of the river, with our measuring sticks.
Unfortunately before we knew it, it was time to leave. What a fantastic day!!
We hope you enjoyed reading about our trip. Best wishes, Class 3
