The first thing we did was Photoblitzer<\/a>. At it’s core, photoblitzer is a website that Mr. Johnston gave all of us. The web page had a small list of photo ideas, then we had twenty minutes to take pictures going along with the list.<\/p>\nNathaniel<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Capture the flag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next we had a game of capture the flag in the playground. This is a new game for the Biggies and went down really well. Lots of running, laughing and thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After our photo blitz challenge we did a game of capture the flag, I had never played it before but it was really fun. Mr. Johnston split us into two teams team red, & team yellow. My group started off as team yellow, my team had me, Olivia, Lexi, Alexia, Rory & Tony. In the first round most of them came sprinting and I tug Juliet, Harry, & then Xander. Team yellow won the first round<\/strong><\/p>\nChloe<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

After the interval we headed down to Dow’s Wood. We started by searching the wood for new creatures to add to our collection at the Banton Beasties. This is a new site that well will make public soon. We found quite a few interesting ones and a few more got away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Beastie was not very welcome. We were attacked by swarms of midges. This made our other activity in the woods more difficult than usual, we stopped to spend some time writing and drawing. It is a credit to the Biggies that they got some done! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the woods, a thick tree canopy shades mossy rocks. \nIn the woods, big blue flys lurk uncatchable. \nIn the woods, midges bite continuously and with no mercy. \nIn the woods, ferns are everywhere.\nIn the woods, there is no escape from midges.\n\nJuliet<\/em> <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
