Today we had to walk into town to go back to the opticians and pick up my contact lenses and Logan’s new glasses. On the way back we took a walk along the river. The children wanted to stop and take a look at the patterns that were being created on the water. They stood for about 5 minutes in awe.

Then they noticed two ducks trying to swim upstream against a very fast current and so we had to stand and watch that a while.

As we walked away and towards home, we talked about what we could hear from nature:

• the running water
• water crashing against the rocks
• ducks quacking
• pigeons cooing
• wind rustling leaves
• wind blowing in our ears
• the flapping of wings

This is what we have noticed today.
