We are back after the half term break, as always its always a surprise to see who is going to turn up to the first session! We planned on 12 and ended up with 13 children so off we go on another adventure. Den building is still the big draw so sticks and logs are being moved around as different sub groups start building new homes for this term. One of the girls decided it was time to get house proud and so made a broom. She started by collecting some twigs and then found a stick for a handle we then looked at how she could tie it all together. The whole of the group went of to collect wood for a camp fire and came back with an array of sticks for the fire and to go into the store. While we waited for the kettle to boil, we made toasting forks for cooking marshmallows on. With toasted marshmallows squished between two chocolate biscuits and a cup of hot chocolate the group were quiet for two minutes. With the cups folded away the group got on with playing, a group boys have invented a monster called the Grinch. This includes a group of bushes that have become the Grinches lair and the boys go around tracking the monster developing the game as they go. Next week we are going to bring the Grinch to life by making faces from clay.
