The children rolled over an old log in the mud kitchen today & discovered an entire kingdom of mini-beasts.
“What’s that?”
“I can see a centipede”
“The banana one is moving”
“What’s he doing?”
“Come out caterpillar. I help you. Don’t worry”
“I can see the worm.”
“It’s like Superworm”
Finding snails in the allotment prompted lots of comments and questions from the children:
“Here’s a snail. He’s hiding”
“The snails is wake up”
“I can see his head and his ears are moving”
“Where’s the snail going?”
“Caracol. Si”
“Snails are slow”
“Are his horns sharp?”
“Eyes”
