Outdoor explorers
Posted: Nov 18, 2019 by: Year 1 (Year 1) on: Year 1's Blog
Year 1 had a great outdoor afternoon on Thursday. Albeit a little wet and muddy, Year 1 did not let this dampen their spirits and had a great afternoon building dens and building a Bivouac shelter.
Continuing our topic theme on explorers into our outdoor learning, children built dens using tar-poling, bungee string, tent pegs and hammers to shelter themselves from the rain. Children then rewarded themselves by enjoying their hot chocolate in their dry den.
Children also go to have a go at working as a team to quickly assemble a Bivouac shelter role playing being Scott of the Antarctica and his team in a snow storm. Children were tasked in getting inside the Bivouac shelter as quick as possible. Children really enjoyed this task and got into action at an impressive speed.
