Today we went exploring around the critter path that has been cut into the grass field to the side of our school. We started off by finding our way through the maze path and then by having a few games of tig to keep ourselves warm on a windy day!

We gathered materials from what we could find around the critter path. We were able to reuse sticks, twigs, rocks, stones, planks, chipboard and even some discarded pieces of litter. Using the materials we scavenged from around the site we set about making our own Neolithic symbols for other cavemen to follow.

Once we had our raw materials gathered we set about making a range of signs and symbols around the critter path for our cavemen to follow. We had different symbols all giving different advice from turn left/right to warning vicious tribe ahead! 🪨

We attempted to attract moths with a white fitted sheet and torch light sadly we did not get more than a couple of bugs and some had shadows. 1 hour

Beautiful walk in Rackham woods to see the changing seasons

So we went to try and see the Badgers 🦡 in there natural habitat not on the side of the road, it was brilliant to see all the evidence along the way from paw prints to holes but sadly we did not see any badgers, we did get to see Bats hear Owls and other night creatures on our walk back.

It took us a while but we got it done
