Today the children worked in groups to make symbols – in the spirit of prayer flags which Buddhists hang from trees. Buddhist Prayer Flags

Each group had to make a ‘big wish’ to blow in the wind. The wishes were great – ‘we wish that everyone in the world could be respectful and loyal’ etc.

I asked the groups to make their flags in front of the dens they had made last week with another teacher. In hindsight I should have asked them to work in their usual trios in a different area because some of the children were more focused on improving their dens.
