Visit to Freiston Shore

Simon's Surprise!

Wrangle Reporters had a wonderful visit to Frieston shore on Wednesday 28th March. At least that was the date but it felt like a warm summer's day. The birds and the people were thoroughly enjoying the warm sunshine and each of us were clever enough to spot a special bird - thanks to the use of the telescopes and binoculars supplied by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. (RSPB). After our session in the hide we walked to the classrooms and out to the back where there was a well stocked natural pond.   We used the nets to trawl in the water to find interesting inhabitants of the pond. We put them in an observation tray so we could look at them under the magnifying glass. When we had looked our fill we carefully put them back so that they could carry on with their busy lives!
We all then went into the classroom where our 'choir' tunefully sang Happy Birthday to Simon who looked really surprised.! His birthday in on Friday. We said '...a little bird told us when it would be...' as we ate our cupcakes and watched Simon blow out his tiny candle perched on the top of his. 

A truly memorable afternoon. The RSPB have a wonderful site to explore with excellent teachers and equipment.  We all decided our short time there was not long enough and a return visit would be a good idea. We resolved to become a 'Bird Friendly School' - more about that next term.

Thank you so much Simon and the RSPB for giving us a great experience.


 Thanks to Mrs Lister for giving us some of her valuable time to accompany us - and for the use of her commodious car!  More from the Wrangle Reporters themselves in the next few days.

I think that im going to see a lot of birds on my trip to freiston shore. I hope I get to see a different variety of birds.I hope I get to see something like a deer or a muntjack. there was a muntjack on my schools field. I saw a grey mistle thrush before, it was eating a snail it banged the shell off of the ground and the slimy snail slipped out and then the bird ate it. 

wrangle lambs

A long time ago where I used to keep my pony there were loads of sheep. Then one day I was mucking out his stable I heard loads of bahs, I went to go and have a look and there was a ewe giving birth to two lambs. I went to get my mum and the man who works at the farm yard the man let me help the ewe give birth to the lamb it was so exciting.

It was so fun he also let me name the lambs I also remember what it looked like the ewes legs were wide open and she was in so much pain when they were born they were covered in blood and slime so we had to wash them but we had to carry them and we got covered in blood and slime it was so horrible but it was an experiance that I will probaby never get to do again and now I would really like to help give birth to a puppy and a foal.
