The pupils showed an interest in looking at the variety of sights as they walked along the Knapp and Paper Mill Reserve fields and streams. One of the pupils picked up a leaf and questioned "why does this leaf smell". We explained that the leaf was an ingredient that is put in pasta and chilies and it was called garlic. We continued to walk and another pupil pointed to a waterfall and said "wow look at that, the water is coming down really fast". All of the pupils gathered together to look at the waterfall as they talked about past experiences of when and where they had seen a waterfall before.
As the pupils were walking along the fields one of the pupils showed an interest in talking about what animals could live in the water. We saw a sign which explained what the nature reserve was and acknowledged that kingfishers and otters swim in the stream. We carried on exploring to the end of the stream as half way through all of the pupils began to walk closer and closer to the river edge to spot any of the animals "do you think they will pop up from underneath the water". At the end we saw a path which led down to a wooden bridge as one pupil said "maybe if we go further down we might get closer to the otters to see them".. The pupils showed an interest in travelling along the bridge.
