Year 1 AIRE and OUSE outdoor learning at Ledston

Year 1 had a fantastic trip to Ledston last week, taking part in lots of different countryside learning activities.  We found out what trees need to grow and what is going on inside a tree – it looks as if it’s just standing there, but inside it’s really busy!

We were introduced to the different types of trees in the woods, and discovered what animals live there.  On our walk through the woodland we spotted hidden clues, then had great fun building homes for our Pebble People.  Some homes were tiny, with lots of details like a sofa and a table; others were huge and could easily fit in lots of Pebble People.

As well as learning lots of interesting information, we also worked together as a team and really enjoyed being out in the countryside.
