XP Outdoor crew

7th March 2023Lauren Marsh

Crew Marsh loved creating artwork using nature… look at our smiley faces!

Today, we had a super exciting visit from Ian the farmer! Ian brought lots of his animals with him, and we got to stroke them, ask questions about them, and we even fed them some carrots! We loved seeing all of the different animals as part of our hook day ready for Case Study 3 – What happens to creatures as they grow? We learnt all about the names of the animals, what their babies are called, and how Ian looks after them on the farm.

The children really loved playing tag in the forest area. They all had a piece of white sheet tucked in their pocket and the aim of the game was to try and get each others tag to get them out. This certainly burned some energy off.😁

Spider web(xp outdoors)

24th February 2023Tracy Haddock

So this week they’ve been playing spider web. The aim of the game is that they need to imagine the string is an electric wire and if they touch it .It will shock them!😱 Plus if they touch it they have to start again. They can go over and under anyway they want as long as they don’t touch it.The children really enjoyed this challenge.

LKS2 xp outdoors

24th February 2023Tracy Haddock

So this week they have done spider web( they had to get through the wire without touching it) and magical autumn sounds ( they had to use their listening skills to see what they could hear and to see if the sound was loud or quiet. If it was quiet then they would draw the picture small and if it was loud they would draw the picture big).
