Why we go?
Intent
At the start of KS2, a time of transition and change, we believe it is important for children to have many opportunities to make new friends, to get to know each other and to learn to play well together.
Implementation
The two-night residential will take place in the second half of the Autumn term, once the children have settled into school. We will be going to Ufton Court which is located just outside Reading. The children will be taking part in a number of bonding activities as well as some that are linked with our topic for the Autumn term, ‘Amazing Anglo Saxons’. The activities will include: finding out about the Saxon way of life and their beliefs, visiting a Saxon farm, archery, Saxon games, wattling, a Saxon banquet, a woodland walk and finding out about Viking raids on Saxon villages.
Impact
Returning to school, the children will have further developed friendships and teamwork skills. In addition to this, their historical understanding of the Anglo-Saxons will have deepened through experiential learning opportunities, feeding into their literacy and history work.
