LIME
Christmas fever has well and truly hit Little Hadham! The Beech class performance was this morning and lots of the Lime class children were reminiscing and a few sang Christmas songs too. A group of reindeer appeared and put twigs on their heads as antlers. They galloped around for a while and then started crashing their stick antlers together in battle! A survival game took place with camping out and a lot of climbing, while the digging zone was dug and swept to within an inch of its life.
WILLOW
The session was split up into 2 parts. Half of the class began drawing boarders in the dirt and had decided to create their own country. Naturally, it was called ‘PPUL’ (Pink Pretty Unicorn Land) and was named after a cuddly toy that could be seen through the window. They had a salute and began painting their faces with mud, while guards stood on the border checking if people were safe to come in. Then a small group started playing Eagle Eye, until another person joined and another…until basically everyone was camouflaged around the forest!
EYFS
It was a very drizzly morning in the forest so the trees were too slippery to climb. Instead, the youngest adventurers decided it’d been a while since they’d played 1, 2, 3, Where are you?, so they set off and found their best hiding spots for a couple of rounds. This then morphed into a game of hide and seek before they scattered and got busy. It wasn’t long until they found some squashes and sprouts and decided to collect them in a bucket. They also used the rope swing and created a den (that doubled up as a drum kit) with a leaf salad!
BEECH
Beech weren’t disappointed that they digging zone was too muddy to go in. A huge crew banded together and began to build the biggest forest wall in the world. The spent the whole session shifting huge logs around and worked as an incredible team. They were so proud of their work that they knew it needed to be documented, so a picture was taken of the great feat. They also celebrated ‘Ice Cream Day’ by creating the sludgiest bucket of mud on the planet and stirring until it was just right (and they were very messy!)
MAPLE
Maple loved Ice Cream day too and a few shops were made with various different flavours but they were mainly after challenges! The bushtucker trials from last week carried on with the same group performing a number of forfeits including; holding a worm for 30 seconds and having a very fetching mud makeover! Others didn’t want to play the I’m a Celeb game but just wanted challenges, so they were sent to tie knots, help ice cream shops and speak gibberish. The clay/mud pots from last week were surprisingly still standing too!
