Hooking into Weslandia with year 4 – British Values

I have had some amazing mornings with year 4 this week. I heard they were reading Weslandia in class and this made me think about den making and everything that involves. It was the perfect activity to help me help the children to recognize how they demonstrate and put into practice our school values and British values every time we are in the woods. We were able to talk about how they fit with our Forest School values about looking after ourselves, each other and the woods.

We created our own countries or territories and discussed the laws of our new lands. This had to be very democratic to include everyone’s ideas.
