In Forest School today, Year 3 had great fun working on their map reading skills to find different locations and symbols, gathering wood, identifying different leaves from different trees and working on their fire-lighting skills.
Working collaboratively, Y5 improved their knot tying skills, and developed their designing and building skills. It was good to be outside. #RPEnrichment
Year 4 had a fantastic session with @Littlefoothq We started of by learning the sheet bend knot After that, we worked on identifying different trees by their leaves Finally, we started developing our map skills #RPForestSchool #RPEnrichment
Time spent outside with @Littlefoothq always makes us smile. Today we identified leaves and named the trees they had come from as well as secured hammocks and raced to start a fire
Year 3 had an excellent time in their @Littlefoothq Forest School session. We made leaf kebabs to identify different leaves, played directional games, worked on our knot tying and had great fun using a technique to stay warm! #RPEnrichment #RPForestSchool

In Geography, we compared rural and urban areas using maps. We found our school, and then noticed similarities and differences between the two types of areas. #RPGeography @SILPrimary
Year 2 had a great forest school session with @Littfoothq. The children worked together to use sticks to accurately mark out the 4 compass points & used flint and steel to practise making sparks for fire lighting. #outdoorlearning #forestschool #RPForestschool
Working collaboratively to tie knots, create art and get into a shelter. The cold certainly didn’t stop Y5 learning outside with @Littlefoothq this week. #RPForestschool
Today in forest school, we practiced knots which could secure a shelter in the wind, practiced compass points using the school grounds and worked on team building shelter activities. #RPForestschool
To end our fantastic trip to @MuseumLiverpool, we took the opportunity to sketch the water front in the style of
We had a fabulous trip to @MuseumLiverpool! We had the opportunity to explore the museum, find out about trade links to Liverpool and take part in a workshop, which taught us about imported and exported goods. This linked to our learning in Geography. #RPEnrichment #RPGeography
We discussed animals that live in our oceans as part of #WorldWildlifeDay & some asked how big some of the animals were. So, along with @Year2RobyPark we did some research and used ourselves to make the length of blue whales and orca. We were amazed at their size!
During #WorldWildlifeDay2024 we sorted food chains, made our own and considered what can happen when a food chain is disrupted. We discovered the dangers on the food chain if animals go extinct, and how all different food chains are dependent on each other.
For #WorldWildlifeDay2024 we focused on food chains! We looked at the different types of producers, consumers and predators from a range of habitats. We created fact files on food chains to share what we have learnt
Year 6 had a fabulous morning at forest school @Littlefoothq We used mallets to help us build camouflaged shelters, hung hammocks and collected birch bark to light our own fires #RPEnrichment
In today’s forest school session with @Littlefoothq we learnt how to safely use a mallet to put up a camouflage net and worked collaboratively to install a hammock #RPEnrichment
On #WorldWildlifeDay2024 we focused on reusing, reducing and recycling and the damage it can cause to the environment if we are careless. Listen to our important messages written by the children.

Year 5 were given the task of discussing and grouping natural resources. Once completed we learned about fossil fuel, renewable and non renewable resources. #RPGeography
During world wildlife day, we explored how our oceans have become polluted over time. We discussed the impact this has on our wildlife and explore ways we can help save our oceans.
Reception started the morning with a fantastic session with @Littlefoothq. We had to search for bugs and work collaboratively. Then we practised making our own fires using stones and sticks. We had a real fire and practised using the fire lighters. #RPEnrichment
In geography we started our topic on mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes. In this lesson the children researched key facts about famous mountain ranges and found out how they were formed #RPGeography
Year 5 used atlases to locate countries around the world. We identified those countries that: have a high and low amounts specific natural resource and those countries that export high levels of their non-renewable natural resources. #RPGeography
In Geography today, we researched different climate zones such as continents they can be found in, temperatures and precipitation levels. #RPGeography
In geography this week the children have been using atlases to locate the 7 continents and the 5 oceans of the world. We also played some fun games to recap compass points and the countries of the U.K #RPGeography
For #WorldWildlifeDay we learnt about oceans and waters. We located waters that surround the UK, created posters to stop plastic pollution and save our oceans before creating under water scenes with wax after seeing the amazing colours in oceans around the world!
Today we had a great session with @Littlefoothq. We learnt how to make a raft for our insect friends to float on. We placed it in a large puddle that we found and used bark from the trees for the insects to eat! We ended the session by safely warming our hands on our campfire
We had a wonderful morning spent with @Littlefoothq in forest school From identifying trees, compass points, bug hunts, camouflaging ourselves, fire lighting & knot practice, we had a very busy morning with lots of stamps towards our forest school badges! Well done year 1!
