Following on from the school INSET in February Wilberlee identified a desire to have a dedicated outdoor seating space which could be used as a fire circle.

Right from the start the children were mindful of walking around the fire circle and stuck to this for the majority [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you can see from the photos, this was quite a rainy morning. Ideal for shelter building as it gave everyone the chance to see just how waterproof their shelters might be. We started small. Having looked at pictures of debris shelters and discussed how they are made, everyone set to making use of  spaces [...]]]></description>

But what about a story? Something with weaving spiders? Rumplestiltskin? Sheep&#8230;Marsden sheep. The Marsden Rainbow Ram. There are strange creatures roaming [...]]]></description>

This proved to be a great source of interest to the children who couldn’t wait to help me supplement it with sticks gathered from around the site. As with yesterday’s session my cunning plan of occupying the grownups while children played [...]]]></description>
