Butser Farm


Well done everyone! You were so sensible and well behaved on our trip to Butser Farm. We were incredibly proud of all of you.

We would also like to say a massive thank you to the parents that helped us throughout the day. You were so helpful, kind and patient and we couldn't have done it without you!

Your task this week is to write about your favourite part of our trip and tell us why you liked it so much. Try to give more than one reason! We would also like you to think of any questions you had about the things you learnt/saw on the trip and we will try to explore these in the classroom.

  2. My favourite part of the trip was making the jewellery because we were using real copper. I also really enjoyed being an archaeologist because me and my friend found a sheep skull. How did they get copper strings to make the jewellery?
    What did the stone age people eat?

  3. Butser Ancient Farm

    In Butser farm I was thrilled about the exiting day and what incredible things I was going to learn. My favourite part was the jewelry making. Apart from all that wind and cold air It was almost like I was in heaven. 'It’s a surprise for mothers day. I was also surprised to know that they actually had jewelry invented in the Bronze Age. The tradition of wearing a wedding ring on your index finger came from the Romans. They believe this because they discovered there is a vein which goes from you finger to your heart.

  4. My favourite part of the trip to Butser Ancient Farm is to make the fences . It was really hard but good fun. I have liked the jewellery making because it was really easy to make. The jewellery and fences were different things. I had 3 goes , so I was 2 times the anchor and 1 time the person who had to get the stick over . Sienna , Asma and one of the twins asked me to help them to do the jewellery but í couldn't finish doing my two jewellery .

    My favourite parts of the trip to Buster pasture were the jewellery, bone digging up and the fence making.
    When I saw Matei’s bone, it was a skull when we fixed it together. I worked with Shayaan and Jacob for the
    Bone digging. I worked with Shaayan and Rishi for the bone digging up. In jewellery making we had Copper
    Wires and twisters. I got to use something like sharp sisarse. .I like doing the fence because we got to do it in
    Partners and work together as a team. I had 5 goes , so I was 2 times the anchor and 3 time the person who had
    to get the stick over .

  8. On Friday we had a school trip to 'Butser' farm and I will be telling you what I liked when I got there. My favorite part of the trip to 'Butser' farm was when we carved a sun out of chalk, because it was fun and because I made the best sun - even better than the people who worked at 'Butser' farm. I also enjoyed it when we were weaving and making fences in 'Butser' farm. We were digging for bones and I found a skull of a goat which was quite scary. Later, we had lunch, which I was really looking forward to because I was very hungry. After I filled myself up with many sandwiches, we started making jewellery from the Bronze Age; I thought this was really fun and interesting, but I would have liked it if they let us take it home. Overall, it was a very fun day trip, something much more interesting than just learning in a classroom. The end.

  10. I loved Butser Farm . My favorite part was when we ate lunch and when we carved and saw the sheep .My second favorite part was when we dug for pig or cow bones. It was also a bit funny because we scrubed the pig or cow bones with a tooth brush.After that every class in year 3 sat in a big stone age house and sat down and said good bye.Every one had a nice time even the teachers.Finally we went on our coach and the coach driver drove us back to school after that exiting and lovely trip.

  14. My favourite part on butter farm was making the fences and painting the sun. After everything I was so hungry we were eating in a big stone age house and we were sitting around the fire on the animal skin. When we finished eating we done some more things and we went to stroke the sheeps then we so two chikens called Sam and Samen they were boys and they were brown.

  15. Hello All.. To talk about the trip, let me start with my favourite bit which was jewellery, fence making and feeling as a archaeologist within myself. Firstly, we were given three options where I had chose to make a ring for my mum and sister.

    Secondly, got a chance to build fences. One person was holding the sticks and another was the weaving. We had to collect sticks and fixed them through wooden poles.

    At last, got to the creepy part. Being an archaeologist, I found a head of a goat and skull of a pig while digging up activity.

    Last but not the least travelling in a coach and lunch was a brilliant time talking and sharing feelings with my friends. Hope to have more trips like this. Thanks Ms Tracey for arranging such a wonderful trip.

  16. The trip was amazing (except when we were on the coach.)My favourite part of the trip was digging the bones of animals. I found a pigs bone that was so small. I also liked making carving with chalk and flint and we made suns and made a huge fence all of this was so hard but I still enjoyed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    We made jewelry before lunch with copper bars and twisters. We could make a ring necklace or a wrist band. I chose a ring. It was epic!!!!!!

  17. My favourite part of the trip was when we made the jewellery because we made the it out of copper wires and my second favourite part of the trip was when we made the fence, someone was the weaver and someone was the anchor. Kiavy, Shayaan and I were in a group. My third favourite part of the trip was when we were using the chalk to make a really big spiral and at the back of the chalk we had to write our own initials on it and then put orange powder on our initials and the spiral.

  19. The trip to Butler farm was very interesting. I really enjoyed making the jewellery. We made rings and bracelets out of copper wires using some pliers.I gave the ring I made to my mum who was very impressed.She said it looks cool. It was really fun. I also liked being an archaeologist because me and my partner Emil found a sheep or goat skull. Most of all I liked making the fence. We got to do it in partnership. We got to build the fence and then take it down. I liked this trip a lot and I wish we could go in this kind of trips more often.
