F1 have been storytellers today! We worked together to create a story map of We’re going on a bear hunt, we then used our story map to verbally re tell the story.

Asking questions about the past.
2P have been using evidence to be detectives about the past. We looked at paintings of different roles that existed during times that castles were lived in. We looked for clues as to the clothes that were being worn and the objects being held. We used this to help us work out some of the key differences between rich and poor people at these times.

1CR in the woods!
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!

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!

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.

We’re Going On A Bear Hunt – Campfire Style
Today we have snuggled up around a real camp fire, whilst enjoying hot chocolate and biscuits that Mrs Robertson had very kindly made for us on the fire. We read one of our key texts, ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’, and then this afternoon used outdoor equipment to re tell the story using props. #LovePlover
