Visiting the chambered cairn

The Kilmodan Blog, , , , , , , , , ,

The school went to the chambered cairn. We climbed up the mountain. It was stressful because it was cold. Then we took pictures of the holes in the ground.

One of the pupils found a blue rock. Then another pupil found a hole that was like a bed so they climbed in it. Then two of the pupils climbed in the holes and it went up to there chests.

It was sunny at first but then it started raining – ohhhhh no! So we ran down but it was slippy- arghh! By the end of it we were all muddy- arghhhh! Then we got in the cars and went back to school, but we got the cars muddy- ohhhh no! But we enjoyed ourselves.

The First Sunny Forest School Of The Year

The school went to forest school today and to our amazement it was sunny! Yippee!

When we arrived we started to make the fire so we could make pancakes Yum!

Mrs Finnie started to get out the eggs and water for the pancake mix, she called us up in pairs to make our pancakes . One of the pupils said the pancakes were too sloppy but most of the pupils loved it.

Meanwhile some other pupils were making mobiles one pupil said that her mobile kept on breaking but most of the mobiles look really good!

At the other end of the forest two pupils were making a mud slide and by the end of the morning their waterproofs were as wet and muddy as anything – and that was our morning in forest school.
