4J at Beech’s Base

4J 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. We played some Victorian games on the field and cooked porridge over the fire!

Thanks for a super day 4J

3P at Beech’s Base 27.09.22

3P have had their first visit to Beech’s Base … I hope they really enjoyed their day.

We had a Stone Age theme so began with reading Cave Baby. The children then recreated mud paint using mud and natural colourings such as Beetroot to create masterpieces! We also made Blackberry Jam over the fire and used our archaeological skills to dig for tally stones to formulate 3 digit numbers to name a few activities 🙂

Thanks for a wonderful day 3P

Children can arrive in their clothing for outdoor learning and clean footwear (trainers):

  • Old clothing – long sleeves and trousers no matter the weather please.

Children will need to bring in a separate named carrier bag:

  • Wellies/Outdoor Footwear
  • Carrier bag for wet/dirty clothing

Beech’s Base

Year 3 have been busy at Beech’s Base 🙂

Our theme has been plants – linking to our Science inside the classroom.

We have worked hard doing lots of gardening; preparing areas for growing seeds replanting bluebells and even picked Nettles to make soup with. (This went down better than expected 🙂 !!)

In the Creativitree Area we used our artistic skills to create artwork of Tulips with sticks and forks!

We also looked at the life cycle of a flowering plant and recreated the cycle with natural items we found around Beech’s Base.
