Out and About Week in Year 4

As part of ‘Out and About Week’ year 4 have been doing lots of different activities.

Firstly, we went to Chinnbrook playground so that we could evaluate it, and make suggestions about how to improve it. After that, we designed our own playground which included lots of the improvements.

Secondly, 4 Lime went to the garden and learnt about all of the plants growing there. They also learnt about how to look after the different plants.

Thirdly, in English we read a story called ‘Ruby Nettleship and the Ice Lolly Adventure’ in the story area. This was about a girl who played at a playground that needed to be made better. Also, we wrote a letter to the Mayor asking them to improve Chinnbrook playground.

Fourthly, in Maths we played games in the outdoor area. We played human battleships (to help with our coordinates) and giant snakes and ladders (to help with our counting).

Next, we went on a litter pick to help keep the local community tidy. We picked up the litter on Scribers Lane.

Finally, visited the Macmillan coffee morning and ate lots of cakes. Also, we decorated our harvest box ready for it to be given away.

We have all really enjoyed ‘Out and About Week’ and learning outdoors!!!
