6B at Beech’s Base

Just before half term 6B have had their first visit of the year to Beech’s Base… I hope they really enjoyed their day.

We had a Tudor theme so began with ordering events on a timeline and discussing this era. The activities the children participated included creating Tudor Currency using natural objects, a Tudor Rose Suncatcher, playing Medievapoly. During the afternoon we made Tudor Gingered Bread using the fire to melt some of the ingredients!

Thanks for a wonderful day 6B

5W at Beech’s Base

5W have had their first visit to Beech’s Base … I hope they really enjoyed their day.

Our theme for Forest Fun today was linked to our Geography topic – Resources.. We discussed what this meant and how we can use resources from the environment. Some of the vocabulary included being sustainable.  Today’s activities included Bird Watching, Purifying water, Den Building, Leaf Printing and charcoal drawing. We cooked baked beans over the fire and ate with bread :).

Thanks for a super day 5W

4P at Beech’s Base

4P have had their first visit to Beech’s Base … I hope they really enjoyed their day.

Our theme for Forest Fun today was linked to our History topic – The Victorians. We discussed when this period of time existed and how life would have been like. Some of the activities included exploring Optical Illusion images, Den Building and Creating Peg Dolls. Some children used sticks and even added hats to their dolls with the tops from acorns. A great use of the Autumnal outdoor learning environment. Some of the children participated in an Autumn gardening clear out. They made such a fab job! Thanks 4P :). Finally, we finished with porridge cooked over the fire!

Thanks for a super day 4P

Some of the vocabulary included being efficient and effective.  Today’s activities included Purifying water, Den Building, Leaf Printing and Acorn painting.
