This week at forest school it was fire week which is always an exciting day as we prepare and cook our own food. This week was even more exciting as we decided to cook a full english breakfast!

We began the session by coming together to discuss how to safely build and manage a fire. The children shared some fantastic ideas, showing their growing knowledge and confidence. They talked about what a fire needs to burn, how to build it carefully, and how to stay safe while working around it.

Once our fire was established and burning well, we moved on to preparing our food. We decided to try something new and began creating homemade patties, which smelled delicious as they cooked over the fire. The children really enjoyed hearing them sizzling in the pan, adding to the excitement of the experience.

The smell of breakfast cooking outdoors was wonderful, and everyone eagerly waited to taste what they had made. The patties were a huge success, so delicious that some of the children even went back for seconds! As the breakfast was served, the children gazed in amazement at the variety of colours on their plates and thoroughly enjoyed every bite of their food. After lunch we had some time left which we spent in the meadow. The children enjoyed exploring the space together.
