To we had some fun discovery in the forest. We set up a tarp for some shelter. We are waiting for some visitors. Today our friend Dr.Debra Harwood is coming and bringing a friend from far away. Claire Warden from Scotland is in town to offer a workshop about nature pedagogy and she is stopping by to visit.
While we wait for our visitors we climbed trees and measured them to find their age. We played with fairy dolls and horses. We huddled under our tarp for songs and stories. We found a special spot for our pumpkin where we can monitor and give space incase animals come to eat it. Debra arrived first, the children gave her the grand tour of camp. They saw her fancy camera and asked her to take a tonne of pictures. We got the call Claire was on her way with Helene. We decided to meet them halfway. We were surprised to see Kelly had come too. Claire had brought her daughter Emily. We went on a discovery mission. We found an abandoned car. This was our first time seeing the car. "It's broken!" "How did it break?" "How did it get here?" "Where is the engine?" "Look at the part I found. It is shaped like my letter." "It's like a balance beam." They shared their stories and theories with our new friends. On our way back we shared our favorite puddle. On the walk there were lots of questions about the visitors from far away. "Where is your airplane?" "What were you for halloween?" "Where is your school?" I think Emily was more popular then her mother. It was a great visit and they are more than welcome to come again.
