Hunting

We practised our stalking and hunting skills, to catch wild boar. We had to work together, keep low, move quietly and slowly before throwing our spears.

Stone Age shelters

We worked together to make Stone Age shelters that could be erected and dismantled quickly. We won this challenge out of all the schools!

Hunter gatherers

This afternoon we have been gathering things from the land to make the roofs on our stone age homes. There was lots of big thinking and problem solving happening!

Big thinking!

Will this keep someone dry? How can we improve it?

'I think this will work!'

Forest school skills - willow charcoal

On Friday we went down to the nest to make some willow charcoal to use for stone age drawings. Mrs Kelly had lit the fire ready with her year fours, so we needed to prepare the willow. The willow was from our school grounds too! We used secateurs to get the willow to the right size for the tins, then whittled it. We can't wait to use it!
