I am writing this as the children are drinking their hot chocolate and sharing the "Dorset Diamonds" that they have been awarded today. It's been another full day with all of us learning all sorts of new things. Get your children to tell you about the strange life of slipper limpets, how a smooth snake protects itself, what strange fish live in Studland Bay, what King John did to 24 French knights and how people in medieval times got rid of the bugs from their clothes!
Once again we have been really impressed with our children's behaviour and proud when members of the public have commented on their excellent manners and politeness. This afternoon on Corfe Castle station, they chatted so nicely with an elderly lady and her family,one of whom turned out to be a former Trafalgar pupil!
This evening we had our sand sculpture competition.
Once again the weather was much better than predicted, especially this afternoon.
Tomorrow we start with a visit to Swanage to see why it's sometimes called "Little London" before setting off on the great Brownsea Adventure!
After such a full day today, I wonder how easy it will be to wake them up tomorrow!

It's wonderful to hear how beautifully behaved the children are being. I wonder how the room inspections are going?!!
