This week was a particular favourite for the children - fire week. The end of our sessions marks the time the children select what they would like to cook on the open fire. The children had chosen to make pizzas, pancakes and noodle soup, creating a delicious three course meal. The weather had taken a turn for the worse so we also decided we should have warm drinks all day and the majority vote was for hot chocolate (with marshmallows of course!). The children sat around the lunch table in the fire pit and Tara explained how we stay safe around the fire whilst Jen got working on our Kelly kettle. Lisa explained how we could use the fire to cook our lunch and came up with a barbecue style fire pit with an old metal bin which allowed our fire to be lit but remain safe in the windy weather. This was a huge success and our starter of noodle soup was soon ready to try. It was delicious. Thank you Maya for a great suggestion!

As the windy weather took hold we held our hot chocolates in our hands to stay warm, snuggling closely to one another. The fire provided us with lots of heat so we were very toasty! It was beginning to feel very wintery. Next up were our pizzas which we folded to create our own calzone style. They were delicious and then for afters, pancakes! We had another hot drink before the wind really decided to blow. It was nearly time to leave but we decided to take shelter in our shed where we listened to the wonderful story 'The Enormous Turnip'. As everyone's eyes grew heavy we headed to our minibus for a well deserved rest (and a few moments of snoozing for some).

What a super (if not a little windy) day!
