Y3 Wat Tyler Park Trip

Year 3 turned into excited explorers this week, as they visited Wat Tyler Country Park! The children (and the teachers) learned how to use compasses, which they used during orienteering, to navigate around the park on a foot print frenzy! 

The children found and identified foot prints from foxes, black birds, mute swans and water voles among other creatures. It was great to see the children excited about the outdoors and nature! Also, the children took part in a series of team building activities where they had to use thinking skills to solve different problems. Well done for your excellent cooperation during these activities Year 3!

'My favourite part was when we were hunting for footprints! I liked being able to explore lots of different paths in the parks with the compass directions.' 
Alex, Scotland Class

'The games were so fun. I loved being able to work with my friends! Can we go back? 
Bobby, Wales Class
