This week at forest school the children helped to light a ‘Kelly kettle’.  First we collected sticks for the fire then we lit a fire in the base of the kettle.  Once we had some roaring flames we put the kettle on top and continued to feed the fire through the hole in the top.  It was really exciting to see the flames, the smoke and feel the heat of the fire.  After the water had boiled we made hot chocolate, yum yum!

For the rest of the morning we chose where we wanted to play, some of use did some more leaf bashing, others went off to climb trees and race around, some found some unfamiliar insects and others were using the palm drills.
