Our visit to Sandall Beat Woods

Year 2 had a brilliant day learning more about castles in Sandall Beat Woods. We started our day with campfire cooking where we made vegetable soup and flatbreads. The children absolutely loved the soup and some even went back for thirds! We enjoyed toasting apple slices in cinnamon sugar and then we made s’mores. We were already quite full by the lunchtime.

In the afternoon we made our own armour out of milk bottles, built a fort and had a flour bomb battle before we set off back to school.

We had a great day in the woods learning about defending castles and cooking in a castle but we’re all very tired tonight!

Team building in Crew

In Crew we know it’s important to work together and support each other. In Crew Lewis we enjoyed turning Jaxon into a mummy. We had great fun and Jaxon loved breaking free at the end.

Super team work guys!

We’re going on a bear hunt in F2BP

We have had a wonderful day. We started off the day by listening to the story “We’re going on a bear hunt.” The children designed caves for the bear.

We then went outside for an XP outdoor session. The children had hot chocolate and biscuits around the campfire. They had remembered how to keep safe. Mrs Robertson reshared the story.

The children came inside and made some amazing bear caves. We had them everywhere – under tables, on the carpet and on the tables. They were made of blankets, cups, boxes, paper, bricks and sticks.

In the afternoon, we used the outdoor area to recreate the story and pretend we were the people in the story.

What an amazing day.

Designing Caves

We’re Going On A Bear Hunt – uh ohhh… a cave!
The children came up with some great adjectives to describe a cave: spooky, rocky, muddy, scary, cold, dark, gloomy, dirty. Then in provision the children enjoyed designing and making their own caves – with things that the bear might like to have in their cave. #LovePlover

Fire Fighter Experts in F2

Amongst all the craziness and celebrations last week. We had an awesome visit from two expert firefighters and their amazing fire truck! The children had a safety talk about bonfire night and fireworks. Then they found out why firefighters are so kind and help people in their jobs. Before exploring the fire truck’s cool equipment and spraying the giant hose! #LovePlover
