We started the day by going to the woods to gather a bit of firewood and different things to test as tinder.
The woods have changed quite a lot since our last visit, the grass & bracken is a lot higher. Down by the Gladstone we saw a woodpecker and later on a frog.
Back in school we tried different items as tinder with our flies and steels. not much success. The only thing that really caught was some bog cotton we had picked on our previous visit.
Next we mixed up some dough to cook over the fire later on in the day.
We then explored a new App Seek by iNaturalist , which helped us identify plants and animals in the school grounds.
In the afternoon we rolled out out dough and wound it round some twigs, while the dough was rising we set up the fire pit.
Some marshmallows might have been toasted too.
