Hilltop Residential Day 3

 Day 3 action, the high ropes and 3D maze !

 

  

Wow !  The children really challenged themselves this morning.

Goodbye Hilltop !

Funky Friday

It has become tradition for year 6 to have a Funky Friday after SATs, a  chance for Year 6 to let their hair down a bit, so dressed in their Leaver's  hoodies  we had some fun.

Making biscuits, fruit kebabs and sandwiches to eat for lunch.

Looks delicious! 

In the afternoon, Kestrels did a different sort of P.E.

Where's my mummy!  Both year 5 and 6 worked hard throughout the week in SATs and other tests - well done !

End of SATs

After a long four days of SATS, Kestrels were ready for some fun and fresh air.  Mrs Gilbert found up some scavenger hunts and away we went.  Can you guess what we made ?

 Did they float?

Can you guess what we made?

A giant nest from what we found in the willow area! 

Fire starters !!

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT AN ADULT NEEDS TO SUPERVISE CHILDREN WHEN LIGHTING AND USING FIRES

Kestrels have been writing instructions on how to build a campfire; last Thursday and Friday , they got the chance to try out their instructions. 

"Fire building can be a great way to improve your teamwork,so on a cold ,dark evening, go a find some friends or family to help you." (Henry). 

First loosely arrange the tinder , in the centre of your fire pit. If you use paper tie it in a knot.

Get your kindling and arrange them so they are positioned above the tinder.

Select your logs and place them in a tepee shape.

Grab your lighter, light your leaves. Now you can sit back and watch the flames dance- so much better than watching T.V. 

Whilst we waited for the fire to heat up we sang campfire songs.

When the fire was white-hot, we toasted marshmallows.

I think we all enjoyed learning how to build a fire and toasting marshmallows!
