A much loved activity this week was gathering at the fire circle to cook some banana pancakes!! The children got stuck in early in the week to help us to start collecting fire wood and kindling. "this is a good stick! listen to it snap!" we filled our little bags and saved them for our camp fire activity later in the week!

We've had a lovely week winding down in the forest before our break! It has been quite a lot milder than the previous week which has been ideal for the creepy crawlies, bugs and insects! We have taken the opportunity to go on bug hunts, using our magnifying glass and identifying bigger and smaller animals! This has been a great segway into discussing how to use gentle hands and controlled movements!

The children arrived on Monday to a wonderful snowy scene. We used a brick press to fill with snow to make ice bricks to use for construction of igloos, snow walls and houses! We all practised some wonderful turn taking and patience & worked together as a terrific team to build our marvellous constructions!
