From the school we headed across the field keeping to the footpath omn the right. We had our all-weather suits on as it was a cold and windy morning.
Oast houses are a feature of the High Weald. They were used for drying hops. We are lucky to have lots of oast houses around our village.
This is an historic farmstead. We can tell that it is very old because the tiling on the side of the roof is shorter than the front and the back. This would have been to save tiles which were more expensive than wood.
This stile takes us off the road and into the fields. We set off with different groups of children: Map Readers, Chief Scribers writing instructions, Eagle Eyes looking out for dangers and Photographers.
We enjoyed running up and down the hill but we avoided the big puddle as we were getting wet enough already!
We were on the look-out for sunken lanes which were used in medieval times by the farmers. They took their pigs to find acorns to eat and made dens to stay (RolvenDEN)
Moss growing on a tree-trunk or a bank takes a long time. This shows us that it is an ancient piece of woodland of historic importance.
We were identifying special features of the High Weald. Here is an example of ancient woodland.
We tried to look carefuly at the wild flowers and the nature around us. We are proud of our countryside.
It is quite a long walk down Sandhurst Lane. Our Eagle Eyes group recognised the danger of not having a path so we were careful to walk in single file.
Trees are coppiced to encourage growth but also to let light to the woodland floor. This is good for the plants underneath which will grow better.
