The pupils showed an interest in exploring a hill where they discovered big trees and began swinging from the branches. We continued walking and found a smaller hill where they engaged in running races to see who could be the quickest. As we got to the bank the pupils decided which directions they were going to take to achieve the goal of getting to the top for example; walking through the forest trees or climbing the steps with one pupil saying "I am the king of the mountain". The pupils watched as the teacher attached the rope to the tallest tree branch with another pupil showing the teacher how to throw the rope "you should throw it really high and I will catch it when it comes down". As the rope was set up the pupils took a break and sat down together to have a drink of hot chocolate with marshmallows. After some of the pupils had a go on the swing as they supported each other by demonstrating and talking through how to position their legs with both of them on each side and then to use their feet to push themselves off. One pupil advised "keep your legs out or you will stop yourself from going high".
