The children in Crew Marsh had a brilliant session with Scottys Hero’s, they learnt how to start a fire by using a flint and steel to create sparks, then added cotton wool to start their mini fires. What an exciting experience. We will be toasting marshmallows in no time!
Crew MI had a lovely time in out forest school . First we started with a bit of crew building which was loop de loop. The aim of the task was to pass the hoop round the circle without letting go of the persons hand next to you but to also not use your own hands to step through the hoop. After this some of the children explored the forest area by making dens, climbing tree or just having a walk round and the other made a twig letter. This was making the first letter of their name out of sticks and wool.
Crew McGlone really enjoyed been in our forest area today. They were on the swing and looking at the roots from one of our trees thats fallen down.

Crew Frost really enjoyed their bit of time in the forest exploring the new fire pit circle , climbing the trees and looking what else they could find.
Crew Hamill have done a fantastic job in helping me clean up are forest area. They worked well has a crew and helped each other. They even made their own swing.
In our last Scotties session, the children had the opportunity to learn how to use a flint and steel in order to start a fire in the case of needing to survive. The children shower great perseverance in getting the flint and steel to create a spark.
It’s been a fun afternoon for Crew Shields as the children were able to have to use the forest school for Lazer tag. It was great to see the children use different strategies to prevent themselves from getting tagged.
Crew Hamill loved their Scotty’s session today in which they were learning how to successfully use a flint and steel to create a fire. Did you know, if you use vaseline on your cotton pad, it will stay alight longer and your flame will be larger?
