YEAR 2 | OUTDOOR ED DAYS

It was wonderful to hear that the Yr. 2 students had such a fantastic time at their Outdoor Education Days on Monday 9th & Tuesday 10th September. They were involved in the following activities and go to explore our local environment.

  1. Building, cubbies, ropes: Learning different rope knots. Built rope swings, ladders and other rope constructions. Built a bush shelter, practiced how to put up a tarp with pegs
  2. Art & craft area: Made their own paints from rocks, plants, herbs and spices. Experimented and created eco prints using flowers and other natural items
  3. Tools area: Introduced to tools and tool safety. We provided loose parts and timber so they could build and create something special to take home
  4. Fire Skills: Introduced to fire and fire safety. Hand fire drill demonstration. Children got to use a fire steel and light their own fire. 
  5. Campfire cooking: Children made damper and cooked it over a fire. A great opportunity to connect and share some stories.  See the recipe below if you'd like to try it at home.
