As part of their English unit, Cobalt Class enjoyed a 'survival day' on Friday. By immersing themselves in different survival techniques and activities, linked to their texts, they were able to explore a range of activities to help them consider how they may survive in the wild.

For some children, this was the first attempt at pitching a tent, following instructions, with no adult support! There was also the opportunity to practise different knots that could be useful, as well as practise their first aid skills. Den building was included, for when there is no access to a tent, and Mrs Larratt supervised children in trying to start a camp fire. Lastly there were opportunities to hone their map reading skills, and to decide what they would pack in a survival kit. 

The children all had an amazing day - thank you Mrs Larratt for organising it. We look forward to some spectacular written work as a result!
