We would like to know who stole summer and could we have it back. It was wet and windy at FS on Thursday so instead of going under the trees we based ourselves in the outdoor classroom and the playing field.
Hot chocolate was made using the pump action flask operated by one of the older boys so no one had to try and get a storm kettle going with damp wood. We haven't done any knots for a while so this seemed like a good time especially as one of the boys wanted to make a lasso. We started with stopper knots and figure of eights working on the floor. With eveyone feel confident we each had a long piece of string which we tied a stopper knot of the bite at one end. With a loop at one end we threaded the other end through the loop making our lasso and then it was out into the drizzle to try and catch a stick or two. From this how do we make a lasso we end up with a game of chase named by Emily, Fox and Hounds. One of the boys caught a stick with his lasso and pulled the stick came out of the ground he started running a coulpe of the others chased him to try and catch the stick. They started to take it in turn to be the fox who had to get to his den before the hounds got him (a large blue cone left by the football team in the middle of the field). this went on for quite a long time. 
The another group started to build chuggy world starting with a hotel and then swimming pool, roads and olympic staduim. Digging holes in the ground and covering then up with sticks leaves and flowers. In the end we had to ask who lives in Chuggy world and of course its the Chuggy pigs or woodlices.
