Woodpeckers

The children have had a great start to their year in Woodpeckers. This term we have used the outdoors while it has been dry. We have made portraits using natural materials and made our own ‘Leaf men’.

We had a fantastic day out at Moors Valley this week in the glorious sunshine! The play trail has some great new play equipment which all of the Woodpeckers had fun climbing around. Check out the video below to see our photos from the day.

Last week Woodpeckers visited Marwell Zoo for a fantastic day out! The sun was shining down on us and we got to see lots of different animals, from Tigers and Leopards to Penguins and Meerkats. You can watch the video below to see just some of the animals we saw and what a great day […]

Unfortunately our swimming lesson was cancelled this week. However as it was such a beautiful day we decided to take the opportunity to visit Bishops Waltham Palace ruins, and I think we were all glad we did. We had a great time exploring the ruins and trying to imagine what life may have been like […]

At the start of May Woodpeckers had two days out of school to attend a cricket tournament and TriGolf. We had an amazing time and our weeks of training in P.E. for these events definitely did not go to waste! Check out the video below to see how we got on.

I apologise for the lateness of this video! I thought I had put it up before. Anyway, here are some of the photos from when we had our brilliant day out at Testwood Lakes back in March. You can see how much fun we had fishing in the pond for wildlife and searching through the […]

Woodpeckers have come to the end of our Superhero topic, so to round it off we have put together a little video showing just a few of the things we got up to in class based around superheroes.

Not even the poor weather could stop us having a great time at Itchen Valley this week! We made our own medallions by sawing and drilling our own wood, we got incredibly messy in the mud kitchen cooking up some mud stew and one or two pies. We even made our own bread on a camp fire! […]

This week Woodpeckers and Ospreys went to visit Swanwick Lake where we learned all about how to dispose of our rubbish sensibly and properly. The children looked at pictures of animals who had been tangled up in rubbish and then tangled themselves up to see how it would feel. We also went on a bug hunt […]

In science we made shadows and drew round them. The sun was very low in the sky which made our shadows really long!
