Today I wrote some of my Winnie the Witch book to help improve my handwriting and spelling. I learnt about Dame Vera Lynn who was the forces sweetheart in the second world war. She died today. She was 103 years old.
Love Tanith xx

Hi all Caspian is back today I will be telling you about Dame Vera Lynn. (Sadly, she died today)
Dame Vera Lynn was a normal London girl before her mum encouraged her to sing for the troops of WWII. Her No.1 hit was ”We’ll Meet Again”. She encouraged the troops on to win the war and they did. They said they could not win the war without her encouragement.
See ya tomorrow!!!!!!
We have been to Ae forest today. I made my own den. We found sticks and used the big tree to help put the den up. The midges were biting us which was abit annoying.
We found hundreds and hundreds of foxgloves. They are so tall and really pretty. They are taller than me.
I collected leaves from different trees so tomorrow I am going to stick them on paper and write the names of the tree.
Bye x ☺️
Hi all,
Caspian and Tanith are back.
Yesterday we spent a lot of time researching British woodland in preparation for our woodland expedition today. We were really interested in learning about different tree barks and woodland bees. We found out thag there is a larger oak tree species called turkey oak. It is orange and has much bigger leaves. We actually saw one today!! We also wrote about the woods and how they make us feel.
At the forest, I see nature reclaiming it’s life essence. (Caspian)
Today we visited the woods. Wow!! We identified wild flowers, (yarrow, dog rose, sorrel, plantain, thistle, clover, foxglove, speedwell) different tree species, (oak, beech, acer, turkey oak, birch, ash) grasshoppers (Tanith actually held one), butterflies, frog spit (insect homes) and even a common lizard which was the first any of have ever seen. It was resting in some tree bark along with a lot of black beetles.
As no one was about, we were able to walk as far as Holywood railway station. Mum used to be an engine driver on an old railway so she taught us lots about how the railway line works in Holywood. Also down there is the bee association and we saw all the bee hives and a lot of bees collecting pollen. In the Woods, we discovered the burrow of a woodland bee.
It was a brilliant walk. We took it really slowly (Mum has to wear her leg brace) but it meant we could really enjoy our surroundings. We are really lucky to live in Holywood with all this nature.
We hope you like our photographs.
Bye (Tanith says I should put x’s but I’ve told her no!)
Tonight we had really bad rain so we brought the horses in. I got soaked. When I went to my room I wanted to see the rain and then I realised that our garden had
flooded so I shouted my mum. They phoned a few people to get some advise and help. Then I realised that the water from the road was coming into our garden. Also the back of our garden was flooding a bit as well. About an our later all the water was gone but there was little puddles left. That’s wraps up today’s blog. Take care. By Orla.
