This afternoon it was 2B’s turn to visit Calthorpe Haven and plot some symbols on a map of the forest using a key. We had a fantastic afternoon and the map is now complete ready for Sunny the meerkat to visit and find his way around.

This afternoon KS2 made decorations for the trees in the forest. They learnt how to use different knots for tying different things together. They really used their resilience learning power to persevere with the knot tying as it can be really difficult.

Today 2N came over to Calthorpe Haven as a whole class to complete some topic work. Their activity was to use a key to plot some map symbols on a map of the forest. They needed to use their persistence power and their relationship power to work in a small group and find the different areas of the forest. Well done 2N!

This week KS1 began to make their stick people. We chose a small thin stick and then used pipe cleaners to make legs. Once we had attached the legs we started to fill our stick with lots of different coloured leaves. We tried to choose as many different shapes and sizes as we could find. Next week we need to attach the arms and fill with more leaves and then we are ready to make the face!

This week nursery have looked at the different textures and feels of the trees in the forest, they then used crayons to make their own texture patterns.

This week reception have made houses for our magical fairies and elves to live in. We are looking forward to seeing if they decide to live in our houses.

Parents came to join in for Class RA’s Family Forest. it was another wonderful session, and the kids really enjoyed themselves. Learning in the outdoors is so much fun!
