A few members of the class helped to lay and light the fire. First they laid the fire, making sure to place the larger sticks at the bottom and working their way to smaller sticks at the top. Then using a flint and steel they practiced their striking skills to light a piece of cotton wool. Many found this a little tricky but persevered until they had achieved a flame.
Some children chose to climb trees with a rope and create their own swings. The children continued this creative thinking and made themselves a see-saw using a pallet piece and a branch, it was rather effective.
Using salt dough the class were able to make some animal tracks. They did this by pushing a stone with a track on into the salt dough leaving an impression of the track behind. Some chose to turn the stone over and make an impression of the animal to go with their footprint.
