Our final week at forest school was 'fire week'. The children had discussed in the previous week what they would like to cook and it was decided that due to the amazing weather we were experiencing that a barbecue (cheese and tomato ketchup included) would be a great way to end our forest school sessions.

We ordered all of our food and set off with a picnic basket bursting with yummy barbecue food.

Before we could start our barbecue we assessed our new fire circle which was completed at the weekend. It was amazing but there was still lots of work to do to get it ready for cooking in. We began by removing the scrap pieces of wood and storing them in our new wood store ready for those wintry days when a fire will be key to keeping us nice and warm. We then moved our benches and table into our circle. Now our fire pit was ready for a barbecue.

We ate burgers, sausage sandwiches and to finish pancakes with chocolate and strawberries. The consensus of the day was 'that was the best day ever!'
