If you go down to the woods today…

We had a brilliant time on our field work visit to Austerfield Study Centre. After an exciting bus ride we arrived ready to start a day of outdoor adventures.

Our first activity was sharing the story Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

Afterwards we headed into the woods to create some woodland porridge. We collected leaves, sand, mud, stones and sticks and then added water to create our own recipes. Yum!

Next, we tried creating some transient art using natural resources to make Daddy Bear, Mummy Bear and Baby Bear faces.

Then we went on a scavenger hunt finding pictures of objects from the story and played a chasing game where we took it in turns to play the three bears.

After an active morning in the fresh air it was time for lunch followed by playing on the trim trail with Class 1.

In the afternoon we explored the story We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. We had great fun recreating the journey, especially stomping through the thick oozy mud! It was great fun finding the bear in the cave at the end!
After a final rainy walk through the woods it was time to head back to the coach. The children had a wonderful time exploring two of their favourite stories in the great outdoors.
We made some wonderful memories together.
