Published 12/06/24On our final day at Folly Farm we headed back up into the woods. David, our instructor, talked about the different reasons for building a shelter. The children then split into two groups to design and build their own waterproof shelter. They were warned a storm was coming (David, Mrs Gregory and Mrs Gibbons armed with cups of water). The children soon found out how successful at keeping them dry their shelters were!
Afterwards, we spent some time around the camp fire and the children learnt about the fire triangle. They then tried lighting their own fires and toasting marshmallows.
Then, sadly, it was time to leave Folly Farm and return home. The children were a credit to both their parents and the school and had a fantastic time away.

Everyone slept well and was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed ready for their second day. Today was all about filming, scripting, editing and narrating a wildlife film. The children have been working in groups to put their films together, using their knowledge of the habitats of Folly Farm to decide what creatures to make the main stars of their productions.
Tonight will be Film Night where everyone will get to see all their hard work come together.

Published 10/06/24Y4 have had a fantastic first day at Folly Farm. We have been up into the woodland, exploring the habitat on the hunt for mini-beasts. The children used reference materials to identify their finds, sharing key facts with the rest of the group. The weather was glorious, so we sat on the hillside to enjoy our lunch.
Next stop was the Folly Farm pond, home to a myriad of creatures. The children had great fun pond dipping, finding all sorts of animals and again, using reference materials to identify them. They even found baby great crested newts and adult palmate newts!The day isn't over yet and this evening we are off badger watching. Hopefully, we can all be very quiet and the badgers decide to come out to play!
