In February we are learning how to risk assess and responsibly make fires in our fire pit. We are discovering how to safely toast and eat marshmallows, bread and cheese. The children are developing their sense of personal safety while working well in teams. Lots of problem solving and mathematical and science concepts are being explored. This exciting hands on activity promotes great cross curricular learning;
Gabriel “Too many sticks kill the fire.”
Louis “Wet twigs don’t go on fire.”
Lily “ Marshmallows melt fast.”
Conlan “Smoke nips your eyes.”
Alfie “Blowing gently (on the embers) makes the fire grow.”
AJ “You can burn yourself.”
Beth “We needed sticks and cough (cotton) wools.”
Roisin “We put fire on the marshmallow.”
Ava “We ate it.”
Gabriel “ We were eating them.”
Darcie “We put marshmallows in the fire pit.”
Sadie “We made the fire with sticks. My clothes were all smoke.”
Jack “Wood.”
Matthew “We had to split some wood, then put some sticks in, then it made fire!”
Conlan “Smoke was in my eyes.”
Megan “I made toast on the fire.”
Reuben “I tasted the burny bit and it was yuck!”
Evan “It was soft and sooooooo yummy!”
Gillan “If you fall in then you will just die.”
