Kangaroos and Koalas visit to Great Wood Farm Environmental Education Centre

All this week, Classes Koalas and Kangaroos have visited Great Wood Farm Education Centre. After arriving at Base Camp on a tractor we were given our missions including; rescuing Sage the puppet from a tree; making magic potions for Percy the squirrel and collecting fire wood, so we could cook our lunch. We climbed trees, played on a woodland swing and helped build the fire. We walked to a thicker part of the forest and built dens using the woodlands as a resource. Some of the children were lucky enough to see some sheep and a lamb being born! Mrs Kightley thought it was the best trip ever!!!

All this week, Classes Koalas and Kangaroos have visited Great Wood Farm Education Centre. When we arrived, there was a big tractor and trailer to take us into the heart of the wood which was very exciting! Once at Base Camp, we were given our missions and went to different areas of the wood. Our missions included; rescuing Sage the puppet from a tree; making magic potions for Percy the squirrel and collecting fire wood, so we could cook our lunch. We climbed trees, played on a woodland swing and helped build the fire. After eating spaghetti bolognaise, cooked by Catherine and toasting marshmallows in the fire for our pudding, we left base camp. We walked to a thicker part of the forest and split into 4 groups so we could build dens using the woodlands as a resource. Adults and children alike, worked hard to create their own luxurious dwellings, with fences and beds! After all our hard work, we explored the rest of the woods to find the minibus back. Some of the children were lucky enough to see some sheep and a lamb being born! Mrs Kightley thought it was the best trip ever!!!
