Brambletye’s immersive learning journey

On a crisp autumn morning in the Sussex countryside, pupils in Years 1 and 2 at Brambletye School discovered something extraordinary during their daily woodland walk - a perfectly crafted little den, complete with a tiny bed and miniature clothes hanging on a washing line, had appeared between two beech trees.

A ‘Fabulous Finish’ brought the term’s topic to a close, with children and parents venturing into the Brambletye woods to build dens and bake fresh bread over a fire for a warming winter tea.

The children are looking forward to exploring next term’s themes: ‘Castles and Crowns’ and
