Nurture – Pond Dipping, Kelly Kettle Hot Chocolate, Toasted Marshmallows and Making Fire!

Today we visited the Lagoons in New Cumnock with Howie and Charlotte from Dean Park. They taught us lots about the pond life and how to use a Kelly Kettle with supervision. They even treated us to hot chocolate and a huge toasted marshmallow. Yum!

To finish, we tried our hand at starting a fire using flint and steel.

A great morning was had by all! 🙂

Nurture – Building a Boat for St. Andrew

On Tuesday 30th November we learned all about St. Andrew, the Patron Saint of Scotland. As St. Andrew was a fisherman we decided to design and craft a boat that we hoped would float.

Using a set of suggested instructions and different craft materials we set about our task…

Here we are with our boats, feeling proud of our creations.

We were able to build boats that floated, yay!

Great job boys! 🙂
