Magical Woods with Cirp Parts 1 and 2

Something or someone had laid some eggs in a nest on the cabin step. Onion was beside himself worrying about this.Whatever was inside had hatched and was nowhere to be seen. We thought about what could have been inside the eggs. We also thought about what had laid the eggs and how big those creatures would have been. The children designed and made traps to catch whatever had hatched. We didn’t want to hurt whoever we caught so we thought about this in our designs. We didn’t know if the creatures would be scary or friendly, we did know they would be babies though.The children made the traps cosy and safe. They worked together to build and design their traps.  Some of the children sat watching, ever so quietly hoping to catch a glimpse of what it was.

I wonder if we might catch something over the weekend when the woods are quiet. We will have to wait and see. Hopefully Onion will be able to give us an update.

After the weekend Onion told me he had news BUT he wouldn’t tell me until the children were back in the woods. I tried to trick him into telling me but it didn’t work. We would have to wait until Friday. The children have been asking me if I had any news every time they have seen me. I couldn’t tell them anything, except that we had to wait.

It was an exciting wait!

LOOK!

Photographs and a letter for the children.

Someone noticed the envelope was written in joined up writing. That must mean it had to be real!

What a wonderfully precious experience we all had sharing these magical moments!
