Students from Victoria Gambier’s class at Whitchurch CofE primary school have prepared this report…
Recently, the year 5/6 Kestrel class visited the Millennium Meadow which was full of high tech equipment to identify the living creatures in the ponds and stream in the peaceful meadow. We split into 3 groups to rotate round the exciting activities including: pond dipping, stream dipping and sketching.
We all met a man called Richard, and he guided us through the day and made the creatures that we caught and, with all his high tech equipment, was able to put them on to a large screen. He could make anything 50 times bigger.

Two pupils of Whitchurch primary school had their works published recently in the school’s newsletter. Their families are pleased to share them with you. One is here, and the other is on the Whitchurch Arts site. Enjoy.
Lily Pads
Delicately floating around
As the still water ripples
Under them.
Shaped like a cup
With no handle.
Coloured like
Smooth ice cream.
They shake slightly
As the breeze passes.
They are like a boat
Shimmering in the light.
Like a light bulb
In a dark room.
All it takes is one glimpse
And it will put a smile on your face.
They attract wildlife like
A magnet and metal.
On the outside they show beauty
On the inside they show magic.
Like shooting stars
Soaring across space
Like an aeroplane.
They hold so many wonders
They hold so many secrets.
Hannah Macpherson
