In P1B we have been independently making lots of maps for lost dogs, diamonds, gold and even sour cherries! Following on from the children’s interest we created some lost posters and followed a mystery map that we found to the woodlands. The map led to a red squirrel, as today was the end of red squirrel awareness week!

Once we got to the woodlands we had a great time playing, climbing, building and eating brambles!

The children learned more about risk and reward when they were picking berries (risk – jaggy thorns, reward – sweet berries!) and they spent time teaching each other about the best way to pick the berries, the best spots to find them and how to tell if they are ripe enough. There was also lots of wonderful problem solving and working cooperatively happening today!
