Small Mammal Trapping

And the results are in….

*drum roll, please*

We caught…

nothing!  :-(

Those pesky crows, ducks and squirrels had struck again! As we approached the area, we saw some of our traps in the middle of the lawn with the hay spread out and the food gone. 
We still had hope though as some remained in tact and two were even closed. Unfortunately, one was completely empty and the other contained a ninja mouse - only its poo remained and it had escaped!

As neither group caught anything, the course leaders are going to see if we can set some again later in a different area. 

Good morning! 
 

Firstly, just a quick note to say more photos have been added to yesterday’s page - the wifi went down last night and my 3G signal wouldn’t let me upload anything. 

Anyway, we have had a good start to the morning. We had clearly worn lots of the children out with our activities yesterday as at 7:00AM some children were still asleep and we had to wake them up! Even though they’d been woken up, there were still smiles on all their faces. 

Our first task of the day was making our lunches. Some children chose to make a sandwich, others made pasta pots and some had deconstructed sandwiches, almost like a mini ploughman’s. (I personally wasn’t so sure about the butter, ham, sausage, cucumber and lettuce sandwich, but I guess it all ends up in the same place.) And, as always, we had a supply of crisps, cookies and fruit for the children to take as well. 
 

At 8:00AM it was time for breakfast. We had an amazing spread on offer today: 4 types of cereal, two types of toast with various toppings and a cooked breakfast! The children had a healthy appetite after our busy day yesterday and many helped themselves to 3 courses!
