Could you SURVIVE in the woods?

Today, Year 2 took part in a variety of different survival activities to bring our topic (Can you survive in the woods?) to life. The children got to experience what it would be like to be stuck in the woods with nothing but themselves. All of the children got hands on making shelters, making fires, learning, finding and eating edible plants (Daisies, Forsythia, Cleavers, Bramble, Sorrel, Dandelion, Clover and Ribwort), cooking and tasting Dandelion fritters and making Cleaver (sticky weed) soup.

Year 2 enjoyed their poetry workshop with our visiting author, Matt Goodfellow! The class worked hard to do some "Rebel Writing" by producing their own poems! Matt spoke about different dialects and inspired all the children to be creative and use the ideas that they already have and turn it into poetry.

The Eco Leaders did a fantastic job when they went litter picking at Gorse Hall. With the help of Mr Pickles from the Friends of Gorse Hall and Mr Moon from Tameside Rotary and we collected 4 big bags full of litter. All of the children worked really hard even in the pouring rain. Well done everyone for helping to improve our local environment which will help our wildlife to grow and thrive.

On Thursday 27th April we will be joined by Manchester based poet Matt Goodfellow. He will perform some of his poems in assembly and during poetry workshops throughout the day. The children thoroughly enjoyed working with him last year and I am sure they will create some amazing poetry with him again next week.

Please ask your child to share their poetry with you on Thursday.
