End of Year School Trip

 

Mrs Know is calling the roll to check who is present at school today. Les Lemon and Fiona Fawn are absent.  Mrs Know told the rabbits last week that today they are going on a school trip to Mushroom Valley. Although it will be a fun day the rabbits are to pair off or form a small group and they are to have a leader to write a description of the mushrooms they see.

 

Mr Know has taken the twins, Hebe and Herb, to the hospital for the day to be looked after by the Nurse and Dental Nurse.

 

For a treat Marigold, Rosemary and Rata have been invited to come too. Mr Know is picking them up with Strawberry the pony and cart. They younger rabbits will also ride in the cart. Les and Fiona have arrived, just in time. They all hop to Mushroom Valley.

 

When they arrive at Mushroom Valley Gene and Grace pair off and Grace writes down the description of this mushroom as peach in colour. That is after they have a play with the hedgehogs.

 

Greg and Bluebell described these mushrooms as shiny, mustard in colour and the biggest one in the middle has a green top.

Rosemary is with Rata and Marigold and she writes down this mushroom is called a Plum mushroom and it is tall and woody. Rata has poor eyesight so Rosemary tells her what she has written down.

The Grayson quads stay together and Tracy has described the mushrooms as small with white stalks and a red top with white spots.

 

Ingrid, Fiona and Len are together and are having trouble describing this mushroom. Ingrid eventually writes down brown with rings with a dark brown edge at the base and on the widest top part. They notice the small mushrooms and have a closer look.

“It’s a little house for the ladybird!” exclaims Ingrid. The hedgehog tells Fiona that there are two blue mushrooms and a little blue man lives in one.

Fiona goes over to the blue mushrooms to have a look but Mr and Mrs Know come over and asks them to come back to join the others.  Fiona tells them that a little blue man lives in one.

“Not in this country they are not lived in,” replies Mrs Know. Mr Know adds that the little blue men are known as smurfs and they don’t live in this valley.

Fiona turns her head back when they walk away and she is sure she saw a little blue man come out the door of one mushroom and run to the other mushroom.

The day ends with a picnic and the rabbits hop back into the cart and Strawberry takes them back to the school. They have all had an enjoyable day and are sad that this is the last day of school for this year.
