During the week beginning 30th June 2025 we completed our annual outdoor adventurous week. There were many activities planned each day throughout the week. On Monday the children completed some bug hunting before collecting nature items to create their own nature crowns. The children took their time to explore the school grounds when collecting their nature items for their crowns.
On Tuesday the children made their very own ‘woolly weather teller’. They had to cut their wool to the correct length before using their fine motor skills to plait the wool. This activity took a lot of perseverance as it was fiddly when plaiting the strands of wool. The children persisted well and showed great fine motor strength!
On Wednesday the children visited The Dell. They completed some litter picking, den building, and bug hunting. The children had free choice on what activity they wanted to take part in. They had an enjoyable and cool afternoon in the shaded woodland area.
On Thursday the children prepped their own cheese pizza wraps to cook on the camp fire. They used trial and error skills when squeezing on the tomato puree, ensuring they had the right amount. They did not want too much or not enough. They used fine motor skills to squeezed on the tomato puree and then with the back of a spoon spread it over their wrap. They used pinchy fingers to spread the cheese over the top before folding the wrap. In the afternoon, the children followed the camp fire safety rules when taking it in turns to cook their pizza wraps. They stayed at a safe distance and listened well to instructions. The children then unwrapped their pizza wraps from the foil and enjoyed them whilst sitting around the camp fire.
On Friday it was Reception’s usual forest school time. The children got to decorate their own wind mobiles before completing some woodwork in attaching it together for it to spin around when blown. The children also had the opportunity to complete some more den building. The children were very engaged with both activities and had a wonderful time concluding our busy outdoor adventurous week.
