This week once we were all seated around the fire pit the group were asked what safety rules they could remember. The rule that seemed to have really sunk in was that you do not walk across the fire pit area but step over and out of the logs and walk around them to change places. We then played the animal name game adding a noise and action to our animals.
We revisited our stopper knots and figure of eight knots to reinforce them. Once everyone was happy to move on we learnt to tie a clove hitch, which is used to fix one end of a rope to an object.
Once the cups were packed away the last mouthful of biscuit was finished, three groups where formed and each group made a wind chime putting their latest knot into practice.
As we are developing our Forest School site the aim is to get the children involved as much as possible. Today we laid a bark path from the archway into the site it is lined with logs. After a noise game of animal name game we head off back to the hall.
