Where has the time gone? We had already reached fire week after some amazing sessions at forest school. As soon as we arrived, we began prepping for our fire. The children were asked what is needed to start a fire and they were not short of ideas. We placed our kindling and tinder into the fire pit and started our fire. The fire grew very big, very quickly and before we knew it we were ready to start cooking. We talked about the different colours we could see in the fire and what this meant. One of the children pointed out that the middle is the hottest part and the white bit means it is ‘super-hot’.

Our lunch was garlic bread, tuna and cheesy pasta with custard and peaches. The children were very excited as they knew that this team of grown-ups are the best at making garlic bread! The garlic butter looked amazing as it sizzled in the pan. We then added the bread and very quickly it was all ready. The children tried it and we had comments of “that is the best in the world” and “the grownups are the best chefs”. Needless to say, the garlic bread disappeared very quickly! We then cooked our cheesy tuna pasta, followed by custard and caramelised peaches. Delicious!

After lunch, we still had plenty of time so decided to do some work on our allotment. We planted, watered and re-potted some of the growing vegetables. We then engaged in some weeding and watering before we left for the day.
