We had a den making session today as we go into the winter having somewhere to shelter if it rains is quite important. So as well as making a couple of play dens, we made a new shelter. To make it we put up an ‘A’ frame which we then square lashed a pole to and then to a tree over which we slung a tarp. The tarp was pegged down with hi viz rope over the weeks we will add sides some log seats and a small fire pit so we can boil the storm kettle.
Our new toy this week was a flask, we can use when we can’t have a fire. Anyone who has been to a meeting recently will have seen the style of flask with the pump action top to get the hot water out. As always we had help with putting the hot chocolate powder in cups and then the children wanted to put the water on the powder. So placing the cup on the log table next to the flask the children pressed the top and it may be a sign of the times but most of the children pressed the button expecting the water to flow not realising they had to put some work in by pumping the button.
After hot chocolate was drained and biscuits had been munched we played thicket which as always goes down really well so everyone was nicely hyped up in time to go home.
