Going to New Hope Creek
Jump to Comments
Have you ever been to New Hope Creek? Well we have!
First we met Mrs. Derrick at Hanging Rock. She told us the story about what New Hope Creek used to be. It was a farm and the Native Americans used hanging rock as a meeting place. (Cool!) When you go out on hanging rock the water is below you. We each got to pick one mussel shell from the creek bank.
Next Mrs. Flowers showed us flowers that you can eat. They were shaped like 3 hearts hanging on a stem. They were delicious and tasted like lemon.
Afterwards we to a station called “What’s been here” Guess what we found?
- a deer skull
- turtle shell
- a deer tail
- a wild turkey feather
- snake skin
- bird’s nest
- hornet’s nest
- raccoon tail
- red fox tail
Last but not least, Mr. Palmiter showed us different animals he found in the forest. He had a worm snake, a baby turtle, a marbled salamander.
We had an exciting adventurous day. We hope you go to New Hope Creek too, because it is fun and we learned a lot!
