今天是在法国研学的第四天。由于前一天充实忙碌的游学活动以及热闹的欢迎晚会，上午简单的早餐过后，我们便回到了旅馆休息，准备下午在枫丹白露森林进行的定向越野比赛和水潭微生物采样。

中午十二点半左右，我们到达了枫丹白露森林。在定向越野开始之前，我们享受了和熙明媚阳光之下、郁郁苍苍树林之间的一顿野餐。

下午两点，首先由老师们给我们讲解了注意事项并分发个小组的物资，然后我们迫不及待开始了定向越野赛。这片森林有十足的魅力，茫茫林海中不乏高大古木，山湖相映，岩石层层叠叠。每个小组都依据地图及指北针寻找标记点，并回答相应问题。对于我们而言，这既是一项需要团队精神、概略标定技能的任务，同时也是一种新奇的户外运动体验。

在定向越野的途中，我们在水塘边的规定区域进行了微生物取样。在这不大的水塘中，隐藏着种类繁多的我们肉眼看得到或看不到的小生物，这些微生物正是我们未来几天科研探究实验所需的样品。

经过一天的野外学习活动，我们从大自然的角度再次认识到了生命科学的实践性：我们不仅需要学习理论，也需要亲身实际地探索自然，探索世界。这趟枫丹白露森林之旅让我们视野更加开阔，团队更加合作紧密，也使我们对未来一段时间的法国研学之旅更加期待，更加有信心。

Today marks the fourth day of our study tour in France. After the bustling activities of the previous day, including a lively welcome party, we enjoyed a brief breakfast in the morning and took a rest back in hotel rooms, gearing up for the orienteering competition and pond microorganism sampling in Fontainebleau Forest in the afternoon.

Around 12:30 PM, we arrived at our destination—Fontainebleau Forest. Before the orienteering began, we savored a delightful picnic under the warm, bright sunshine amidst the lush greenery.

At 2 PM, the teachers briefed us on the precautions and distributed supplies to each group, and we were so eager to start the orienteering race. The forest is incredibly enchanting, with its vast expanse of trees, towering ancient trees, serene lakes, and stratified rocks. Each group used a map and a compass to locate checkpoints and answer related questions. This experience was not only a test of our teamwork and basic navigation skills but also a thrilling outdoor adventure.

During the orienteering, we conducted microorganism sampling in the designated area by the pond. This small pond harbored a diverse range of tiny creatures, both visible and invisible to the naked eye. These microorganisms are the samples we will use for our scientific research experiments in the coming days.

After a day of outdoor learning activities, we gained a deeper appreciation of the practical aspects of life sciences from nature’s perspective. We realized that learning theories is essential, but hands-on exploration of nature and the world is equally important. This trip to Fontainebleau Forest broadened our horizons, strengthened our teamwork, and boosted our expectations and confidence about the upcoming part of our study tour in France.
