OH DEER!!!

Since September the children have been playing a wonderful game at Forest School called 'Sleeping Fawn'. The children lay low and quiet in the long grass pretending to be a sleeping fawn and the coyote has to try and find them. A themed version of hide and seek. Today as the older children were decending the big hill they came across a real sleeping fawn curled up in the long grass. They were so excited!! They were able to stay and observe for several minutes before deciding to let the baby return to his nap. Their experience gave new meaning to the game they have been playing. By the time the younger group went out the fawn had moved. They were however treated to two adult deer walking through the park.
