This term Cherry\u2019s Class topic is \u2018What happens where I live?\u2019 So far, in their learning the children have immersed themselves in the world of Winnie the Pooh. They have also explored the idea of mapping. On Thursday the 2nd December it was time to use these skills and go and find Pooh and his friends in the Ashdown Forest. Cherry Class wrapped up warm and set out on a \u2018hike\u2019 to find Pooh Bridge.<\/p>\n
First, they were given a blank map. They were told to add significant landmarks to their map as we passed them. This included Eeyore\u2019s gloomy place, Owl\u2019s house, Piglet\u2019s house and the Up and Down bench. On our way the children collected sticks, in preparation for their arrival at the Bridge!<\/p>\n
Once there the action commenced and Pooh Sticks was enjoyed by all. Upon leaving the bridge we stumbled across Pooh\u2019s House. The children looked on in wonder, and were excited to read notes left by other visitors before us.<\/p>\n
Lunchtime was a very welcome break from the cold, and we took shelter in the sanctuary of Mr and Mrs Rowbery\u2019s. Not only was this a great opportunity to use the toilet and shelter from the wind, but it was also an opportunity to observe trees planted by the children last year and measure how much they had grown.<\/p>\n
After lunch it was time to resume our hike. The children followed the footpath to Hartfield village, following signs along our way.
\nThe last part of the day was popping into Pooh Corner for some well-deserved cake and squash, enjoying being part of a caf\u00e9 just like the one we have created in our role play area at school.<\/p>\n
