Wattle and Daub'n in Forest School

Year 3 had a fabulous time in the forest this week for their last session of the Autumn Term. 

Inspired by the beautiful houses we saw at Mary Arden's Farm, we created our very own wattle and daub wall!

The children created a sturdy a frame and then collected bendy sticks to weave the 'wattle'.

After that, the children made their own sticky mixture of straw and mud to paste or 'daub' onto the wall. 

The finished effect was surprisingly good and well worth getting very muddy for.
