While we were travelling through the forest banks of Dry Mill Lane the pupils enjoyed finding different length sticks as they talked about using the stick "to go fishing see what fishes I can find". As we got to the stream the pupils either travelled the outer layer area of the water or walked through the middle of the stream seeing how deep the water went. One of the pupil's said "half of my body is covered by water". In the middle of the long stream the pupils found a pile of big tree branches and as a group worked together to demolish the standing of the branches with the pupils holding both ends and beginning to shake it watching small pieces of the tree disintegrate into the water. One of the pupil's response to what they were going to do with the branch when it breaks free was "we are going to see how far it travels down the stream". At the end of the lesson we asked for the pupil's feedback on how they thought outdoor ed had gone with some of the responses being positive of "I really liked using the rocks to break away parts of the branches" and "my favourite bit was seeing how deep the water was using my body, it came up past my knees".
