Primary 5b were able to tick off their first Make Your Mark experience on Monday at forest school.
Working collaboratively in small groups, they were tasked with building a waterproof shelter.
Each team was given a tarpauline sheet, four tent pegs and four bungie cords.
Children could also use sticks and other natural materials that they could collect in the forest.
The children identified that problem solving skills, team work and communication skills were vital to succeed in this challenge.
Mrs Sutherland also noticed the children were developing their adaptability, leadership and feeling skills too ensuring that everyone in the team felt valued and heard during this task.
Have a look at our photos and videos to see how each group created a unique waterproof shelter!
