Hyde Hall - Y2 trip!

-

 We've had a fantastic day exploring nature and art at Hyde Hall today! We had good weather which meant we could explore outside and appreciate all the autumnal colours!

The children participated with enthusiasm in lots of activities including:

- using magnifying glasses to explore things from nature,

- collecting fallen leaves and petals on a nature trail around the gardens,

- working collaboratively to create a nature mandala with their findings, inspired by artists such as Richard Shilling who use colours, patterns and spirals,

- making wax resist pictures

- using leaves, poppy heads and sticks to print onto clay,

- leaf rubbings,

- planting cress seeds...

What a fun day! Well done Year 2!

Bawdsey Day 2

Today has been another action-packed day here at Bawdsey, with the children up bright and early, full of energy and excitement for what lay ahead. After a hearty hot breakfast to fuel the morning, the first activities kicked off: canoeing and Survivor (a fantastic session of den building and outdoor skills). The children embraced the challenge, showing great teamwork and creativity as they constructed their shelters and took to the water with enthusiasm. Following a tasty lunch, the afternoon brought even more thrills with the giant swing — a definite favourite! There were plenty of cheers (and a few nervous giggles) as each child took their turn. We rounded off the day’s activities with a problem-solving session, where teamwork, communication, and thinking outside the box were the keys to success.
