18th January

In class I introduced the children to the eat-well plate and briefly went over each section. We re-capped this in the woods and the children then went off in their groups to make a representation on the ground. This was  a great activity and by the end everyone could answer all sorts of questions about the plate etc.

Meanwhile, I lit a fire. It would have been inappropriate to toast marshmallows so we toasted mushrooms, which I had never done before. You need to dip the mushroom in oil and then hold it over a flame – not the embers which is what we tried. Better luck next time!
