We have been learning a lot about sewage in the river. We watched a Panorama documentary called the 'The river pollution scandal' on BBC iplayer and put a diagram together on some of the main points discussed in the program. The program filmed untreated sewage being discharged into protected rivers. According to the Environment Agency in 2020 storm overflows were used 403,171 times in England. We were also inspired by Jamie and Philippa's letter to their MP so we tweaked parts of their letter and with my help Shreya typed a letter to our MP about the water sample findings and concern over the frequent use of sewage overflows as well as the Sewage Bill.

It was amazing how time just flew by at the sunflower patch in Rogate today. So many bees 🐝 around and of course sunflowers it was actually hard to pick some. Nature when beautiful.

This morning Shreya went kayaking with her daddy along the river Wey in Guildford from Dapdune Wharf. It was a lovely morning. They had the choice of either kayaking towards Guildford town centre or north towards more a rural part of the river. They noticed peoples' kayaks at the end of the gardens backing onto the river.

Wow!!! sculptures of nature and so many herbs, flowers, trees, bushes cut into animals and Alice in wonderland, Bees and birds (falcon display) so much to see and discover most plants were labelled which helped a novice like me the girls really enjoyed the nature inspired sculptures …. 2 hours

We went to visit the garden after the summer holidays and it had turned into a wildlife haven. We had lots of wild flowers, some vegetables including carrots and cabbage. There were lots of different colours of wild flowers - poppies, cornflowers, foxgloves and daisies.

Today, Wednesday 25th August 2021, we had our first visit from Kate our local park ranger. She brought along some locally sourced Ash logs, tarpaulin, rope and tent pegs so that we could build our own shelters. We have been reading about Barney discovering Stigs shelter in the chalk pit so it was great to have a go at building our own!
