The pupils showed an interest in walking along the paths at Tiddesley Woods as they talked about what sights were around them. One of the pupils asked the question "do any animals live here?". We discussed that sometimes you might see sheep lying on the ground eating the grass.
Halfway through the walk we began to explore the forest areas. The teacher set the pupils a challenge of building a den out of logs. The pupils worked together to search for different sized logs, communicate between one another which tree they were going to use to build their den around and discussed as a group where they were going to place the logs with one pupil saying "shall I put mine here on the other side of the tree". After the pupils had completed their den they enjoyed playing a few games of tracker as they supported one another with finding various places to hide such as behind bushes or in between long grass.
