FUN AT THE HAZELS – MONDAY 14TH OCTOBER

A beautiful, blustery morning up in the Hazels. The sun was bright, but there was a hint of autumnal chill. We all started with learning how to erect a ridgeline shelter. The children then worked in groups to tie the ridgeline, put a tarp over the line and secure it with prusik knots (a type of friction hitch), then peg out the corners to complete the shelter. Fantastic teamwork and lots of proud faces.
On the campfire, we got cracking with baked apples. After coring them, we stuffed them with a mixture of oats, brown sugar, raisins and butter. Once wrapped in foil, they were popped onto the fire to bake and go all squishy. Delicious!
The children had lots of opportunities to revisit some favourite autumnal activities. The rollercoasters were very popular and, using the new pieces of guttering added to the collection, created a huge run- it was spectacular!
We talked about mushroom safety, as one of the signs of autumn is seeing many more of them. Everyone was reminded not to touch or taste wild mushrooms or toadstools. We practiced this by admiring, but leaving them alone, some Brown Birch Boletes growing around the birch tree (these are very easily recognised, safe mushrooms but a good one for reinforcing our rules).
A great morning everyone, well done!

Outdoor Learning

What a beautiful morning Miss Phillips’s class had up in the Hazels. It was lovely to be able to explore the changing of the seasons as we move into autumn. We looked at the range of colours starting to appear and created some amazing artwork using natural objects as our colour palette.

We also spent time making some fantastic Acorn Rollercoasters using tubes, pipes and guttering. It was quite a challenge to construct the courses, but great fun to see if they worked. There was even one rollercoaster that went uphill for part of the run- and it worked! 😲

The new pallet den and hammock area was also open today, and we learnt how to get in and out safely. It was so relaxing, lying in a hammock, looking up through the branches of the beautiful silver birch tree.

Year 5 – EXPLORE UNIVERSITY PROJECT

Today, we have been busy learning about university life. The “Explore University” project is organised by Keele University, Staffordshire University, University of Wolverhampton and Harper Adams University and aims to help primary school children understand more about university. The children were challenged to recreate many aspects of a university using lego. Year 5 showed great resilience, teamwork and imagination throughout the morning. Well done!
