Our Trip to Alexandra Park

Date: 24th May 2021 @ 1:00pm

Last week the children had the opportunity to visit Alexandra Park and complete a variety of tasks. We linked our trip last week to our Literacy this week and wrote a recount of our experience at the park. The children were excitied and eager to get out of the classroom and take their learning to a different environment. Even thought the weather was a little soggy, the children were very enthusiastic about the four different activities we did. We started our afternoon by completing an orienteering course to find all the different symbols, they worked really hard to follow the map and spot the signposts. Next we played some ball games in the Lion's Den and had a little rest before our next activity. Later the children sat on benches around the fountain and created some observational drawings of the fountain it's self and the surrounding plants and flowers. To complete our afternoon we played 'I Spy' around the park and found different buildings and features, they each recorded what they saw on their spotter sheet to refer to this week in Literacy. The children were amazing and so well behaved! We have really enjoyed looking back at the pictures this week and discussing our trip to the local park.
