6.3.24 OAA - This week we had a go at planning our outdoor shelters. We thought very carefully about the frame, location and resources that we needed. The children showed endeavour which resulted in some truly fabulous shelters!
In PE, we thoroughly enjoyed starting our Outdoor Adventurous Activities unit! Have a look at some of our pictures of the children exploring our farm and forest school areas, learning about fire safety and toasting some wonderful marshmallows! We also did amazingly well working in teams to look for areas we might construct shelters and experimented making cobwebs!
Science – Investigating the melting point of chocolate!
OAA - We really enjoyed our first session of outdoor adventure education! The children explored the forest school area, started looking at natural resources that might be useful for shelter building and were introduced to the campfire as we discussed fire safety rules. We even enjoyed a marshmallow or two...
