Camp fires are a great place for a chat and some of the afternoon children asked today if they could have a fire outdoors like we had earlier in the month when we were learning about staying safe on Bonfire Night. We hunted out everything we needed and quickly had our fire on the go. Some of the children noticed a pile of broken pieces of wood we had been storing to one side and suggested that we add them to our fire which made for a great little blaze. It was lovely to hear the children chatting as they sat by the fire and there was lots of valuable conversation about why we needed to keep our distance as well as great discussion about the wonderful smell and sounds created by our fire.
