Lorenzo s Mystery Box

Today was such a contrast to yesterday,dark and grey and the rain poured down all morning. I was so glad that we spent yesterday outdoors!However, Lorenzo lifted all our spirits when he arrived in clasping a large matchbox. We all gathered around as he gently slid it open to reveal a tiny little pygmy shrew(Ireland s smallest native mammal) Sadly his cat had killed it yesterday and brought it into the house to show that he was a fine hunter! Lorenzo beamed with pride as he shared in the awe and wonder that this little creature brought to the classroom. Yes, even a bleak day can suddenly turn around to  become an exciting one amidst the little ones.
