Yesterday the y4's continued to construct their 'Tudor' houses by assembling the panels of the lower storey.
Y3's made wood and wire armatures in readiness for next week when we'll wrap them with mod-roc.
At school today we had a Forest School event. 'Forest School' is really an updated version of what used to be called Nature Study. We have a huge area behind our school that has trees, large open spaces, even a stream(!), that the children utilise to enhance their learning across a whole host of curriculum areas. In y3 we used clay to make faces - the premise was that the Ancient Greeks believed that trees had spirits (Dryads) - so we made representations of them on the actual trees. The activity certainly brought out the creative sides of both the children and their parents!
