Year 3 go Native American in the forest!
To start their new topic How Rabbit Stole The Fire - A Native American Tale, Year 3 spent the day at Suntrap in Epping Forest. Like true Native Americans they had to work in their tribes to build shelters, they ate around a camp fire and they learnt to work together (as well as climb up tall things, slide down things and swing on things in their spare time!) The sun shone and a great day was had by all.....
