Year 3 Yorkshire Adventure- Otley Chevin

After a little hike from the carpark we found a lovely view. 

After a nature scavenger hunt looking for Oak leaves, Clover, Pine cones and a mystery object. We moved on to colouring with natural objects. 

We found 3 shades of green, a range of brilliant yellow, but struggled with blue! 

We took a little time out to explore the woods before heading off for lunch 

We claimed 184 steps to get to a lunch room with a view. 

Using the monument at Jenny's cottage, we worked out the direction and distance of some local towns and features. 

Then we tracked to the den building site. And then the serious work began!

And after all our labours we had the most amazing dens! Ray Mears would have been impressed...

A lovely adventure, great work Yr3!

Class 4 'Countryside day' adventure at the Great Yorkshire Showground

We had an amazing day today at the Great Yorkshire Showground. After splitting into groups we headed for our first workshop. 

Animal Anatomy

And then something odd happened... 

Hmmm it seems that by using a wolf skull the boys are reminding us of the harsh truth of nature! 😐

We then moved onto equine care and learnt how to keep horses clean and healthy and how to deal with injury. 

Just as we thought we were getting to grips with countryside pursuits... We met dancing sheep!

Just time for a quick trim.. Very professional! 

Rope Making

Well what can I say, we made it..

And then, what else could we do but skip?!

Simply Science Workshop

With the help of our 2 'Professors' we explored bubbles, extreme weather, friction and the potential power if the air. A really brilliant opportunity for the kids to get stuck into some high school science!

The smoke filled bubbles were our favourites. Totally magical!

To round off our day we met some fa animals. The group favourites were these little chaps. (The Ducklings were cute too!)
