Year 2 enjoyed a Forest Adventure Day at Winkworth Arboretum in Godalming as their Fantastic Finish of their “Fire Fire!” theme. It was a beautiful, frosty, sunny day but very cold so we wrapped up well in lots of layers of clothes to keep warm. Jon, Jackie, Sally and Helen from the Arboretum met the girls when they arrived and their adventure began.
These are some of the things that the girls enjoyed:
Collected ‘snappy’ twigs and sticks to put on the camp fire
Walked down very steep steps through the lovely trees
Played a game of Giants, Wizards and Elves in the meadow
Sat around the fire circle and learnt to stay safe with fire
Built dens in groups to keep safe from gales, pouring rain and the bears!
Ate snacks and lunch around the camp fire
Filtered dirty water to see how clean the girls could make it
Used flints to make sparks to see if they could light cotton wool
Had fun on the rope swing hanging from the tree
Drank hot chocolate around the fire with water boiled in a big kettle on the fire
Toasted marshmallows on long thin sticks
Sang songs
Kicked through the carpet of Autumn leaves
Went back to school very happy!
