We had a quiz on fictional animals from lots of different stories. In the afternoon, we had a writing workshop. We learnt how to create choose an animal for our story thinking about how it was unique, what it wanted in the story, why, what was stopping the animal from getting this to then how did they manage to get this ‘want’. The children have some fantastic ideas ready to write a story in their free writing sessions. Cellars class also had a lovely session, sharing a book with another child in Revelstoke. There were excellent discussions and recommendations made across the class.

In our sessions, we have identified different trees and plants in our forest school area, cooked with wild garlic, planted plants, learnt about the different parts of tree and flowers and the importance of each part and lots more!

Harry Potter Day

As inspiration for our up-coming recount writing, we held a KS2 Harry Potter day! The children came to school dressed-up and ready for a day at Hogwarts. First, they were placed into houses by the sorting hat and then they took part in a variety of magical lessons: Care of Magical Creatures, Quidditch, Charms and Potions. Check back here in a few weeks to read about the events of the day in more detail in our recount writing!

Forest School

During Autumn, we have spent our Tuesday afternoons at Forest School.

In the images below, we created natural art in the style of Andy Goldsworthy.
