Making dens in the Forest

April 12, 2018 User deactivated Leave a comment

P1/2 this term have been making different dens.

It started off with little ones for our fairies whose homes were blown away by Sneezy the Dragon.

We then made dens in which at least one person could fit in to.

Finally we learned how to made square knots, which we used to help us make a freestanding den with a tripod. In all of these tasks we were learning the skill of working with others.

In the Forest

October 10, 2017 User deactivated Leave a comment

In the forest we used our kellie kettles again to make soup and today we had wholemeal bread with it. Everyone tried the wholemeal bread and the majority of the children liked it. We are encouraging the children to make healthier choices when eating.

The children also searched for signs of Autumn and found a variety of leaves and acorns. Once again, there were no conkers from the horse chestnut tree.

The children also played games to help them order numbers and revisit place value.

P1/2 enjoyed their first visit to the forest with our helpers Hazel and Mr Howie.

In this visit the children learned safety rules in the forest, made soup with their kellie kettles, made numbers and letters on the ground with different outdoor items and searched for different fungi.

P1/2/3 went off to the forest today and did a number of Numeracy activities with their partners.

This included number work, counting and adding activities, making symmetry pictures, problem solving and measuring.

P1/2/3 had their first day in the forest this year!

We were joined by Mrs Taylor who had arranged the session.

The children looked for signs of autumn and collected different leaves.

They listened to a story about an owl and a hedgehog. They then had to make a little den for their little woodland animal.

Den Building

June 7, 2015 User deactivated Leave a comment

This week we were up in the forest and were building dens.

We all had to work together in our groups to build a solid den in which one or more people could fit into.

One group was very creative and made a garden path and a fire exit with their den.

Thank you very much to Mrs Howie and Mrs Black who came along and helped us build our dens!

Today we stayed in the ark and made hot chocolate with kellie kettles.

First we had to collect very small dry sticks in the park, then we used these to make a small fire in the bottom of the kellie kettles.

This boiled the water, which was used then for the hot chocolate.

This week we revised which leaves come from different trees.

We then used leaves and other signs of autumn to make a picture of a flower.

When making the flower we had to find similar shades of leaves and put these together.

We made frames from sticks too. We were very creative and worked together too.

Hopefully you will agree what wonderful pictures the children made!
