Week 8 of our collaboration with CCI & Calderhead High School

The children have been  very busy this week with Shirls collecting lots of foliage for the large Guardian of the Forest. They were introduced to a special cutting tool called loppers which we safely used to cut some of the larger pieces. Shirls encouraged the children to use their creativity skills to decide which pieces they would use for the eyebrows, beard and hair. At the end of the session,  Susan built a small fire to keep the children warm up then they used it to brown their bread to make toast.

We are looking forward to the big reveal with our families on Thursday 1st December.dsc06067 dsc06066 dsc06067 dsc06064 dsc06060 dsc06057 dsc06055 dsc06054 dsc06053 dsc06049 dsc06048 dsc06047 dsc06044 dsc06043 dsc06042 dsc06040 dsc06039 dsc06036 dsc06034 dsc06032 dsc06030 dsc06029 dsc06028 dsc06027 dsc06027 dsc06026 dsc06025 dsc06024 dsc06022 dsc06020 dsc06019 dsc06018 dsc06017 dsc06015 dsc06014 dsc06013
