Over the past three weeks Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2 have been experimenting with plasticine, they have been making ‘Hursties’ (the things that live in the woods at school). The children let their imagination flow and made Hurstie people, animals and monsters. We talked about their Hursties, what they were called and what they might like doing. We then moved the activity on and the children started creating lodges for the Hursties to live in. We had houses, rooms and hidey-holes appearing all over the woods.
With the constant wet weather we started one of our sessions in the classroom with some creative writing about the Hursties. Some of the children wrote a description of their Hurstie’s life and other wrote stories about an adventure their Hursties had. We then ventured outside where the children developed their lodges further, with some of them redesigning them to try and keep the rain out! So if you venture down to the woods please look out for Hursties and try not to stamp on their lodges.
