Last few photos

We really enjoyed making headdresses using items we found in the local area!

Lighting fires and toasting marshmallows

After all our hard work, we sat around the fire and toasted marshmallows. They were amazing! Then Nick taught us how to use flint to light a fire; we found it quite tricky but some of us managed it on our 10th attempt! During this session, we also learnt about how to find food in the forest and some plants that maybe poisonous to us.

Shelter Building

We had great fun creating a shelter. Miss Ogden worked with a group who moved into number 17; we used our imagination and had a catwalk, television with satellite dish and even a guard at the front door! The shelter survived the rain storm (a cup of water) and our friends were impressed!

Visit to Hollybank Woods

Today we were really lucky because we got to go on a trip to Hollybank Woods which is near to Stanlow Oil refinery. When we arrived, we met Jan and her team and set about some fantastic activities. Have a look over the next few blog posts to see what we got up to.

1. Scavenger Hunt - we LOVED having time to investigate the area and found many different minibeast and plants  - you'll have to look at the pictures sideways! Blogger won't let us rotate them!
