Into the woods

Today we took a wander into our woods. We bathed in all the sights and sounds our little woods had to offer. We searched under logs to meet some of the smaller woodland residents. We found centipedes, millipedes, worms, woodlouse, ants, slugs and snails. We then had a look through the brambles and spotted a very hungry flower crab spider. It blended in so well with the bramble flower buds that we almost didn't spot it. It had played its camouflage game well and had won the prize of a big juicy hover fly. We then came across some moths with really long antenna, after a bit of research we found they are called yellow barred long horn moths, a very fitting name indeed. We had time left for some poem reading from the lost words book, which inspired some drawing and reflection on what had been a lovely afternoon.
