LIME
Traitors was the main order of the day for Lime class. Probably 90% of the team spent the whole session playing and trying to figure out who Claudia had picked. They scurried around accusing each other and turned on their closest friends at the earliest available opportunity at the round table. The end of the session came by and the faithful hadn’t discovered the mystery identity and they were very shocked when it was revealed! In the digging zone, a group were carefully sculpting an incredible mud slab which they were very proud of.
WILLOW
There was a birthday in the class this week and of course they had to throw a mega fun forest birthday party to celebrate! There was lots of jumping up and down and singing, followed by a birthday speech. Some hung back from the party and got to work on making a great mud cake, they made sure it was perfectly square and then decorated it with stones before realising that they couldn’t lift it up. So the cake was shared out in the digging zone. Elsewhere another shelter was being made and the roof of a stick den was being smothered in mud to keep out rain.
EYFS
It was a very windy gusty morning and the three little pigs know all about that kind of weather! So the littlest members of Little Hadham listened to the story and became inspired by all the house making. They mostly had sticks at their disposal too and began making some mini-shelters to protect them from the Big Bad Wolf. Some put sticks on the floor and built walls that way, while others leaned them against trees. The Big Bad Wolf went around checking how safe they were and then gave them a certificate to say that they were all up to code.
BEECH
The Big Garden Birdwatch started today and Beech class were excited to hear some bird calls. They guessed which birds could be making the sounds from recordings and then someone saw a red kite in the sky, wondering what all the fuss was about! They then got busy making plenty of birds nests hoping that the birds would fly down to say hello. Elsewhere a ship was made out of tarp and a big group tried to get the sails up and make the most of the wind. The hammock was also very busy and the same children rotated around it all session long.
MAPLE
Unfortunately storm Eowyn made it too windy to get into the forest but Maple still managed to join in with the bird calls and turned it into a game to see if they could recognise which call was being made. They found it very difficult but got the hang of which sound was which in the end. They also completed a bird identification quiz and played a couple of games.
