While I got the fire going and a small group of boys put hot chocolate powder into cups, the rest of the group went off working on their dens. With the new materials we got last week there is a new vigour in den building and there appears no end to this activity being the favourite at FS.
After we had finished and had packed the snack things away a few of the children started to make wood cookie Christmas decorations. They got to use a new tool called a palm drill, which is basically a wooden handle with a drill bit stuck into it, and most gave it a good go at drilling a hole. Of course they also had to cut the wood with a bow saw using a sawhorse. The children who have been to FS at the Courts over the last term are getting quite good with the saw and their confidence when using it has really grown.
