Some Forest School Skills are Tricky to Master!

Last week in Forest School, the children made their own tongs from a single piece of wood.  They used the skills they had already learnt including using a mallet and a peeler to create and craft them.  Once made, they were used to pick up small items around the forest.  Some children made a collection of items in the den.  Mrs Melham even found hers useful to safely transfer the cotton wool onto the fire after the children had lit it using the firesteel.

Mrs Hancock made a rope ladder in one of the trees, which proved great fun, but also a tricky skill to master.
