Year 2
Painshill Park
Our day in the forest at Painshill
Park was packed full of fun and
adventure! Our main activity was
Bivouac Building, which put our
creativity, perseverance and
teamwork skills to the test. But
don’t worry—there was plenty of
time left for games, a treasure hunt
and playing with our friends.
On a lovely, sunny day I went with
my excited classmates to Painshill
Park! The best thing I did was
building dens. We found lots of
sticks that we spread out on top of
the den. To see if it was
waterproof, we went in our den
and the lady poured water on us. I
got soaked! Sylvie
I loved Painshill Park. First
we crossed the bridge and
had a snack. Then we ran
in the field and saw a
forest behind us. Next we
made dens in the woods.
Some dens were small and
could just fit a hedgehog.
Other dens were bigger.
The lady from Painshill
Park tested if the dens
were waterproof and
everybody got wet except
for Freddie. I enjoyed
making the dens and it
made me feel happy. Niko
Making dens was hard
work but it was great fun.
We had to work as a team.
We made the den out of
twigs and leaves. It had to
be waterproof, warm,
cosy, and very strong. We
had an epic day out! Zac S
