This week at forest school it was fire week. The children love to watch the flames dancing as our lunch is cooked on the open fire. We always start our fires the same way, with a discussion about fire safety. The children are aware of how to keep themselves and their friends safe around the fire, understanding the safe routes to exit the fire circle, what to do if the smoke heads your way and how to use the ‘respect position’ (how to kneel safely around the fire).

Our lunch was rather delicious and there were lots of yummy noises from the children (and the grown-ups). Our very special recipe for ‘forest school garlic bread’ was a particular favourite!
