All of the following quotes were prepared by
Class 4WW of Coed Eva Primary School afterwards with Mrs Walters. They capture
the day more or less accurately with a bit of artistic embellishment. They show
how getting the kids out of the classroom can have a profound effect on their
early life experiences. They may get super interested and come volunteer with
us in years to come. The positive effect on our small group was also fantastic.
The kids were buzzing, but us oldies were buzzing too. The quotes have been
left in their un-edited state.
Henllys Nature resurve was fun and exiting.It
was only a ten minute walk and I really enjoyed it. We planted lots of flowers
like the marsh marigold, the bog bean and lots more. Every one that was wearing
wellies was allowed in the pond. In the pond there were blue dragon flies
fliying all around the place. Mr Wayne had to go in the middle of the pond
witch was the deepest and the water was up to his chest. I really enjoyed
myself and would like to come again.

On
Friday 12th off July 2013, we went to Henllys Nature Reserve to
plant pond plants. We walked there and back. We all wore wellys and trousers or
leggings so that when we went in the pond to plant the plants we didn’t get
wet. Mr Wayne, who came with us, went in the pond in wayders to see how deep
the pond was. I planted a bog bean. I thought it was a very funny name. We
planted all different types of plants like the Marsh marigold and the water
lily and water violet. They all went in different places in the pond. We walked
through Glan Rhead right past my house! The day before we went we researched
all the different plants and where they go in the pond. It was all gooy ,sticky
and muddy in the pond but I liked it. Skimming across the water was dragonflys
called blue darts. I thought that they were beautiful. There were lots of water
spiders in the pond too. That was my day at the Nature Reserve and I would love
to go again.

Friday 12th of July 2013, Coed Eva Primary school year 4 went to the Nature Reserve in Henllys. We
walked for about 15 minutes .when we got there was two people called Chris and John there Mrs water said “ everyone sit
down” so we all sat down Chris said to
stand by the deep part for about
10 minutes then John came along and said
I look like a lemon just standing there . After that I went in the water me and
Ellie Chapman got stuck in the mud
. The water went over my wellys . I had
to walk home with wet wellys and that’s my trip to the nature reserve.

My favoriture bit was
when we planted
the plants in
the pond. Mr Wayne was
funny when he
went in the
pond to see how
deep was the
water. I had lots of fun at Henllys
nature reserve. I want to go a
again.

could be.

I enjoyed going to Henllys nature reserve because it
was really fun planting the plants in this special pond soil. I loved going in
the pond and helping my best friend Ella get out of the mud. I also loved the
beautiful site of the land and trees. I spotted some colour full dragon fly’s
they were really beautiful. I was muddy from the pond I was soaking wet.

We had so much fun at the
nature reserve and in the pond. I am coming again because
it is so good and fun.
The nature reserve is fun
and we planted the plants in
the pond it was dirty. Some of
the plants water violet and fringe lilies. There are living things in the
dirty water and
there is dirty stuff in
there aswell. Thay could die.

My favourite thing of the day was puting soil in the black bags and then going in the pond with Mr wayne. My wellies got stuck in the mud, that was the best thing that happened,and my favourite plant is a bog bean. It was boiling hot at the Henllys nature reserve.The only bad thing was the 15 minute walk.

I
loved about Henllys nature reserve Mr Wayne because he when in the pond and planted mine and codie’s
plant it was fun and funny.
The
best part was when Mr Wayne went in the pond . This man called john cut Mr Wayne a big thick stick. For him
to have in the water when he went in the pond .

Today
has been a blast because I went to Henllys Nature Reserve. Also Mr Wayne
dressed in waders to plant pond plants in the pond that 3as my favoute part and
the water was up to his chest. The plants we planted were called whitelilly
bogbean lillypad and there was meny more. I had so much fun I want to go there
again! I forgot to say that the walk there was so amazing that when I got home
I tolled my mum all about it when I got home like I said I loved it so much I
wont to go there again and see what my plants look like!
I
loved it at Henllys nature Reserve, and I loved planting the plants in the
muddy, sqwishy pond. I would just like to say a big thank you to
Henllys nature Reserve. I would like to
come again. Only because it was fun . Chris asked John to cut a big, huge branch off a fallen
down tree, for Mr Wayne to go in the pond to see how deep it was to put the
plants in the right order. I hope that
the plants that we planted in the mucky pond and I hope that they grow nicely.

The kids were absolutely amazing, you could tell they
were excited, but they planed the work ever so carefully beforehand. They were
also extremely well behaved on the reserve and a credit to Coed Eva Primary School.
They’ve started the Henllys LNR pond records book year 0 today which will be
handed down to next year’s Class 4 and hopefully on and on and on. Looking
forward to next year’s events already.
