Outdoor Classroom

This week’s outdoor challenge is to make Mini Toy Shelters!

The best way to make a shelter is to use your imagination! 

If you would like a little help getting started, I would suggest first thinking about which toy you would like to create your shelter for. This will determine the size of sticks you will need.
When you have gathered lots of sticks, start by creating a tripod using three sticks of similar lengths and an elastic band. 
Here’s how to create your tripod...
🌿First take two sticks.
🌿Slot you elastic band between the first two sticks (the crocodile mouth 🐊)
🌿 Then wind the elastic band around both sticks until it is tight.
🌳 This is the best method of securing two sticks together!
🌿 You can then add the third stick using the same method.
🌿 Now you have the main skeleton for your shelter and you can lay more sticks around it, building it up.
🌳 The more sticks you add, the sturdier your shelter will become!

You can also add any leaves/grasses or anything else you can find in your local area to make it look more interesting 🌸

You could even challenge yourself to try and make your shelter waterproof 💧

Please send me photos of your shelters as I love to see examples of your outdoor learning at home!

See you all at 9am!

Take care,

Mr Smith

Gloucestershire Rockstars Championship

Hello Everyone, We just wanted to tell you about the ‘Gloucestershire Rockstars Championship’ that you’re all going to have the chance to take part in next week. It’s a tournament against lots of other schools in the area that will be played using Times Tables Rock Stars. The tournament itself will run over three days from 12th – 14th May between 10am and 1pm each day. The idea is that you will try to answer as many questions as you can during those times. You’ll earn a point for each correct answer and these will be counted to work out the highest scoring individuals, classes and schools. This event is optional, but it would be brilliant if we can get as many of you involved as possible! You don’t need to be on it continuously, just go on for as long as suits you between 10am and 1pm. Every point will count - we’re aiming for the top of the leader boards! We’re going to be sending an email out to your parents about this too. In the meantime, please try and get in s...
