Our pupils at Templars have enjoyed learning beyond their classroom during the year.

Our Early Year pupils made shelters to keep them dry and warm, nature pictures using natural resources. They used binoculars and magnifying glasses to explore the natural world around them, looking for mini-beasts that live in the woodland environment and made leaf mobiles to decorate our woodland and created their own natural wall hanging.  

In Year 1, our pupils explore the natural world around them, discovering what lives in our Forest School. They became artists to make nature pictures and leaf mobiles, and made their own magical wands using natural resources and investigating what lives in our school pond. They also learnt how to cook safely over a fire. 

In Year 2, our pupils became designers, making picture frames from sticks. Investigated what lives in our school pond, leant about the life cycle of butterflies and they have created shelters to keep them dry and warm and cooked over a camp fire. 

In Year 3, they became investigators, scientists and artists to create new homes for animals found in the woodland, make magical potions, they visited Western Super Mare beach, create Stone Age pictures using natural resources and cook over a fire. 

In Year 4, they became mathematicians, scientists, designers and technologists, cooking over a fire, making bows and arrows using willow, creating shelters, classifying leaves, discovering the age of our trees by measuring and calculating, creating stretchers, pond dipping. 

In Year 5, our pupils became scientists, designers and technologists, artists by making their own bubble blowers, space rockets, cooking over a fire, pond dipping and classifying animals and shelters to prevent them getting wet and cold in the wind. 

In Year 6, they became scientists, artists, engineers, designers to make ladders and stretchers from branches to test their strength and durability, cook over a fire, create clay tree masks, design and make picture frames.
