The pupils showed an interest in walking along the river collecting big and little sticks to use to create their reindeer's. As we were walking a group of swans started to fly along the river and the pupils enjoyed seeing which of the swans was the fastest and which one had gone the furtherest. One of the pupils talked about the noises they could hear "one was Big Ben and the other was the Cathedral". We thought that the sounds had gone off at the same time as the pupil replied "no the Cathedral bell went off first and two seconds after it went RING and that was Big Ben". The pupils then saw that there were swans eating on the steps near the river and as they presented the school well of listening and being kind to a man who told them that there was 270 swans in the river.
After walking along the river we went to RSS to make a start on their reindeer's with the resources they had found. As we got to RSS the pupils listened to all of the safety rules given as they sat around the table and took it in turns to use the various tools such as a saw to cut the long log into three pieces for their reindeer's body. After each pupil used the sand paper to flatten the edges with one pupil saying "wow that is really smooth".
