The children had a wonderful week at forest school. Our fourth week is always exciting as it is fire week and the children had chosen what they wanted to cook on the fire. Last week the children decided they wanted to have beans, toast and tomatoes. As we explored more ideas, the children decided they would like an all-day breakfast. What an amazing idea! This was something we had never attempted before but we were all up for the challenge. We continued our ideas and we finally decided we would cook tomatoes, toast, beans, wedges, mushrooms and bacon. For pudding we chose pears and bananas with chocolate chips and pouring cream.

As we arrived, we set up our resources and Kirsty demonstrated how we build a fire. Very soon our fire was roaring and our food prepared for cooking. As we sat watching the flames dancing, we had a delicious hot chocolate to keep the cold away, followed by a yummy biscuit. Kirsty quickly had the food cooking and we tucked into bacon and quorn sandwiches. They were a hit and every piece was eaten! Then it was time for all the other food followed by pudding. The children (and adults) were extremely full by the end of the afternoon. Once we were all cleaned up, we headed back to the minibus where we met a very friendly dog called Harvey. We all petted Harvey and he loved it. A perfect way to end the day!
