This week the children have enjoyed spending time cooking on our camp fire. We started the day by discussing fire safety and how we would work in the fire circle. We then talked about how we would light our fire. The children knew we needed some kind of fuel and thought some logs would be a great start. We then experimented with lighting different materials to see which would start our fire. We tried cotton wool, tumble dryer fluff and kindling but unfortunately none of these worked alone. We then tried to put all the materials together and we were so pleased to see it worked!

As it was Pancake day, we had some yummy pancakes with a little chocolate and bananas melted on top. They were delicious! After our lunch we talked about how to put the fire out safely which we did. As we had lots of time left, we decided to plant some bulbs in our allotment and clear a little of the old plants.

Everyone worked hard to pull out the weeds and clear the old leaves before putting them all into the compost bins. We planted lots of dahlias, gladioli, and daffodils to make our allotment look beautiful! What a productive day!
