India class investigated an unexpected sound in the wildlife area. We discovered many unusual things, including shells, pink and blue leaves, and a book. After investigating further, we found a strange blue creature beside the pond and in the long grass. The creature had a tag attached that read ‘please look after me.’

We carefully brought the creature to our classroom, and we read the book.

By the end of the story, we decided that the creature we found was, in fact, a Bog Baby. We discussed what he might be and where he might have come from. Someone suggested he might have come to the pond’s surface as he was hungry.  One child said that he was lost. Two children thought he had no family.  Everyone agreed that we would look after the creature, but if it got sick, then we would take it back to the forest where it belongs.
