\"\"<\/a> Some primary 7 pupils have been enjoying Forest School sessions with Cat, Hollie (Our parent helper) and Mrs

In the woodland setting, they have been successfully working together in a range of different ways
\ne.g. shelter building, fire lighting, tool work, risky play, nature connection and exploration. The pupils are

\u2018We used a flint and steel to make a spark and light a fire, using cotton wool and kindling that had been
\nprepared. We sat at the campfire and had hot chocolate that we had also helped to make and toasted

\u2018We had lots of fun taking turns in the hammocks. We helped set the hammocks up and sometimes they
\ncollapsed so we had to try again which showed resilience and problem solving.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018We set up tarps as shelters under the trees and played games together like hot Potato. We worked together
\nto get the shelters up and made sure everyone had a role, which showed fairness.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
