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.

Scotty’s Heroes
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?
New outdoor toys
This week we got some new toys for our outdoor area, we got a new slide and a play house! We really like enjoy them both. Look at us practicing our cleaning skills
Lollipop wind charms
Crew Hamill worked well as a crew making their own lollipop wind charm and they even helped their peers if they were finding it a little bit difficult. Super proud of their be kind HOWL.
Lollipop Bees’s and Hedgehog Fans
Crew Frost really enjoyed making their own Hedgehog Fans and Lollipop Bee’s. They used a range of different materials.
Building Shelters
Survival 10! In Scotties, children learned what they’d need to do if they ever needed to survive in the wilderness. Children worked in groups to build themselves a shelter. They had to find a suitable place to pitch their shelter and worked together to get it up and find some seating for inside. Great team effort from all.
paint heads
Crew Frost enjoyed using the straws to create some crazy hair with powder paint.
Scotty’s Heroes
Crew Hamill had so much fun going out into our forest area to complete our next Scotty’s session. This session focused on creating a shelter that we would be able to protect ourselves from the elements in! We worked in mini crews to use the equipment given to create a space that we could hide from the rain. We then looked at what we could put inside our shelter to make it more comfortable! Well done to Kira and Taylor who earned Scotty’s Heroes this week due to their stewardship for packing away the equipment another crew had left behind!
XP Outdoors
Crew McGlone really enjoyed making paint heads using powder paint and a straw. What a great technique they had.
XP Outdoors
Today Crew Hamill made baskets from strips of papers and then added their own finishing touches to them. They practiced their weaving techniques and they even helped the rest of their crew if they got stuck. Fantastic crew work today!
