Mr Baxter’s class showed lots of resilience and responsibility when using flints and steels to start fires. It’s harder than it looks and took a lot of hard work. Everyone succeeded, which was great. The children supported each other really well to make sure that they all go there in the end.
Miss Discombe’s class showed responsibility and resilience when toasting marshmallows. They were lovely on a cold February morning. The fire kept some hands warm too.

Mr Baxter’s class showed responsibility when toasting marshmallows around the fire on a chilly afternoon. They were lovely!
Year 5 enjoyed hot chocolate around the fire on a chilly January morning. They also learned a little about how levers can help us to move heavy weights.
Year 5 are learning how to light their own fires, which needs a lot of responsibility. We started by lighting cotton wool using flints and steels. It was much harder than it looked and took real resilience. Everybody managed, which was great.
