Then it was time to build shelters, this time we tried to build a teepee type of shelter with a tree in the centre. Some groups remembered that they had to try to make their shelter big enough for everyone and made a tepee which was not symmetrical - it worked really well! After lunch we made 'mini- Muddisdales' in trays which needed to have all the parts we had seen - trees, paths, the burn, grass. One even had a mini- teepee shelter!
The first day of autumn at Muddisdale
This week we returned to Muddisdale to go on a nature walk to try to identify some of the trees that grow there. We walked round the path and found Sycamore, Rosa Rugosa, Birch, Alder, Whitebeam, Willow and Hawthorn. We had drawn the leaves in class and made identification tags with our drawings, so when we were certain we could identify the trees we hung the labels on them and made a quiz for our family visitors to try out later.

We ran out of time to make our 'tree troll' and our art letters, but we will go back and do that next time. Back at school we practised orienteering so that we knew what to do on our next Muddisdale trip. Thanks to our parent helpers and family visitors, we hope you enjoyed the trip too.

ReplyDeleteWell done, good comments everyone. Your punctuation is improving. I see sentences with capitals and full stops more often and some people are using the blog post to check their spellings. Remember the name you call yourself needs a capital too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if you all had a great time. Sorry I couldn't join you for lunch.
ReplyDeleteHi Class '5'- It was lovely to be able to share in your outdoor classroom and to see your outdoor shelters... I'd never been to Muddisdale before and it was nice to share the experience with all of you. I also really liked trying to guess which trees were which:). Rachel (Aria's mum)
ReplyDeleteHi class 5-Thank you for letting me help on your magic trip to Muddisdale. I absolutely loved it. Probably learned as much or more than all you clever children. Photos look great. Hopefully I will get asked to help again. Susan (Scotts mum)
