Year 4 Wild Curriculum Day 🌿
Year 4 enjoyed an exciting Wild Curriculum Day packed with hands-on learning and outdoor activities. The children were split into two groups so that they could take part in two different activities during the day.
The first activity built on a skill the children began learning in Year 3: whittling. Using peelers and working carefully, the children whittled wooden sticks to create their own gnomes, shaping a flat surface and carving pointy hats. It was fantastic to see how confidently they applied the skills they had previously learned.
For the second activity, the children created nail and thread designs on wooden cookies. After carefully hammering nails into the wood, they used colourful loom bands to weave around the nails and create unique patterns and designs. Each finished piece was creative and completely individual.
The children also took part in some orienteering activities to further develop their knowledge of the school grounds. Working together, they navigated around the area and practised their map-reading skills.
It was a brilliant day of creativity, teamwork and outdoor learning, and the children showed great enthusiasm in all the activities.
