Willow Class - Village Walk
Click here to find out more about Willow Class.
Willow class walked around Cliddesden village as part of our Y1 fieldwork for Geography. The new children were being super spotters, looking for bugs, houses and fields.
We started by looking at our school and the surrounding fields, noticing hills and trees. We then walked along the road in a 'walking bus' down the hill to the church. We noticed many snails and wild flowers on the way. After a quick look in the church, noticing it's made of flint like our school, we walked past single big houses down to the pond. We saw more large houses but also a row of pink cottages and a pottery shop ( which used to be a post-office).
From the pond, we looked at thatched houses and the old school house too. We spotted a garage with a sign and a small hairdressers too.
The children were excellent at thinking about if we were walking down, flat or up. They saw so many different buildings and talked about their uses. We cut through by the church and spotted some horses and looked down into the dip where the main road goes.
We finished our walk, after a drink and fruit stop at the village hall, by climbing back up the hill to our school.
The Willow teachers were very proud of the excellent behaviour of all the children, especially on the roads.
Thank-you to our adult volunteers who helped to keep us safe and spot so many things.
