How amazing our time in Sherwood Forest was!

On Tuesday we all had to go on a very exciting trip to Sherwood Forest. First we went on a blue, shiny coach with all of year two. It took a very long time to get there, some of us played I spy, some of us went to sleep and the rest of us talked to our friends. Once we arrived, Robert of Wentworth took us to a little classroom where we learnt about his life in the forest and the clothes that he wore in the olden days.

Afterwards we went with Maid Becky to build habitats for the animals that she gave us. Each group had a different animal, including foxes, hedgehogs, squirrels, badgers, birds and moles. We had to work like Active Ants, building our habitats together. We thought carefully how to make the habitats safe in case another creature came hunting. 



We also pretended to be badgers and searched an area for things to see if a badger might like to live there. Then it was lunchtime and we had our class photo taken on a huge, fallen log.




In the afternoon we had another fun story about Robin Hood in the spooky, dark forest with actors and actresses acting the parts. We went on a long, muddy walk to get to the Major Oak. Some people believe that the Major Oak is the most famous tree in the world. It is between 800 and 1000 years old. This was also Robin Hood's meeting place. 

After our walk it was time to get back on the coach and head home. We were so exhausted that lots of us slept the whole way back. We couldn't wait to share our adventures with our grown-ups.
We had a fantastic school trip it was!
