“Mmm,mmm, it was so yummy, stringy and juicy my marshmallow!!!”
Super description Olivia! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Cooking Outdoors
The families of Joshua H. and Harvey M. have been looking at the photos of our outdoor cooking on the fire.
“Joshua’s face is full of concentration in this picture. He looks like he is listening & taking everything in. Thats what I like to see, Im so proud of him.”
“Looks like Harvey enjoyed making bread! Maybe he will test his new skills at home one day 😀”
The children really listened well at this activity – learning while having fun. Good luck with the bread making at home Harvey!
Toasting Marshmallows
Following on from the afternoon children’s experience, we set a fire one morning last week. Toasted marshmallows and bread were on the menu which went down a treat. It’s strange how food seems to taste so much better outdoors but there were certainly plenty of children keen to sample it. As with the afternoon children, we were delighted with the children who were so sensible round the fire and showed that they realised how important it was to stay safe.
Outdoor Cooking
On a recent visit to discuss our outdoor environment, the local ranger brought us a great new base for making a fire and the afternoon boys and girls were the first to try it out. While some were intrigued to watch the ranger setting up the fire, others were busy indoors making bread. Lots of measuring and counting skills were needed to make sure we followed the recipe but, as you can see, our team of chefs showed super concentration to produce their dough. Once it was wound round sticks and the fire was ready, the children helped to cook their bread and they melted marshmallows on sticks which brought lots of discussion about the changes happening to them as they were cooked.
We were very impressed with the children’s super listening skills and discussion about staying safe near fire. They certainly deserved to taste the results of their hard work. Thank you very much to Duncan for his help- the children had a great learning experience.
