We cooked on the fire after learning how to maintain it and safely put it out and check that it’s completely gone.
In this session we used a dangerous tool called the Billhook! We used this to split wood!
Here we are discussing the Friends and Foes of an Allotment. We then talked about how we could create ‘yes no’ styled flow diagram to classify them as well.
Year 5 forest school children were clearing the path on Guilsborough Road. A lot of trimmed hedges over the years had built up so we cleared it to make the footpath twice as wide again.

This included removing any weeds, turning over the soil and then adding some natural fertiliser from the compost bins. We also played a couple of games which were fun. Here we are working together
