KS1
The whole school took part in a range of activities throughout the day, including building small den villages out of natural materials and creating hanging art. The children all had a wonderful time and even managed to avoid the rain long enough to eat lunch outside! Thank you to all the parents for ensuring that the children were dressed for any weather.
Year 3 and 4
The children in Year 3 and 4 thoroughly enjoyed the Outdoor Learning Day. The children decorated their initials using natural resources, created art with nature and adding extensions and new additions to the house ‘villages’. In the afternoon they were set the challenge of measuring an amount of water using different types of containers and everyone rose to the occasion. We all had a fantastic day!
Year 5 and 6
Year 5 and 6 came prepared for Outdoor Learning Day and had an amazing time working in different places of the schools grounds to create natural art and face challenges. The children created some fantastic water colours, as well as making the alphabet out of natural resources, creating their own animals and even measuring the whole field using only one 30cm ruler! the children especially enjoyed weaving different materials through the fences. It was a really great day!
Year 5 and 6 writers
Is this a dagger I see before me?
This week, Year 5/6 have been using drama to explore Shakespeare's well-known play, Macbeth. Focusing on Macbeth's speech in Act 2, the children were asked to define unknown words to help them understand what was being said. They were then given the tricky challenge of translating the speech and rewriting it themselves using modern-day vocabulary.
