1CR in the woods!

14th November 2024Mr Pickering

1CR had a brilliant time in the woods. We learnt about different rich and poor roles in a castle and then did activities linked to some of these jobs. We were builders to begin with when we built a wooden fort and then we tested our defences against flour bombs. Then we were Knights. We created our own armour design and then tested our accuracy at throwing missiles. After dinner we were cooks. We made a simple medieval vegetable soup and then made our own piece of flat bread to eat with it. Later, we used the campfire to cook some caramelised apple and then a marshmallow smore! To end the day, we had a flour bomb battle to burn off all of our extra energy! We had a great day!

1CU Take a Trip to the Woods!

8th November 2024Kathleen Cunningham

This week, 1CU had the opportunity to visit Sandall Beat Woods and learn all about life in the past as part of our expedition From Rags to Riches. We made a shelter that became our medieval castle, created our own knight armour out of recycled milk bottles and even experienced cooking stew and bread over an open fire! Then we got to put our armour to the test in our very own battle with flour bombs to see which team would be made the champions!

The children had the best time and are still talking about all the fun they had at the end of the week!

Re-arranged Trip Details for 1CR and 2L

7th November 2024Stuart Longley

Dear Parents/Carers, 

Firstly, apologies for the late cancellation of the trip last week and thank you for your understanding. 

We are pleased to confirm that the trip has been rearranged for Tuesday 12th November 2024, for children in 1CR and 2L.

The fieldwork will include a walk to Sandall Beat Wood. The day will be spent in the activity centre doing different activities such as castle building and maybe even some campfire cooking!

The children will leave school at 9am and return to school by 3pm. Your child will need a packed lunch.  If children previously ordered a packed lunch this will be arranged.

Children are to wear school uniform for this trip with comfortable, appropriate footwear for walking in woodland. Please ensure your child brings an appropriate waterproof jacket in case of extreme weather during the walk. 

To help with finances at this time of year, the full cost of the trip will be covered by school. Therefore, there will be no charge for this trip. 

Additionally, if you had kindly agreed to join the visit to support the staff and children, please could you confirm that this is still the case with the class teachers. 

Mr Pickering (1CR) and Mrs Lewis (2L) will be leading the trip on this day.

Thank you once again for your support and understanding.

Mr Longley
