Fire starters !!

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT AN ADULT NEEDS TO SUPERVISE CHILDREN WHEN LIGHTING AND USING FIRES

Kestrels have been writing instructions on how to build a campfire; last Thursday and Friday , they got the chance to try out their instructions. 
"Fire building can be a great way to improve your teamwork,so on a cold ,dark evening, go a find some friends or family to help you." (Henry). 

First loosely arrange the tinder , in the centre of your fire pit. If you use paper tie it in a knot.




Get your kindling and arrange them so they are positioned above the tinder.

Select your logs and place them in a tepee shape.


Grab your lighter, light your leaves. Now you can sit back and watch the flames dance- so much better than watching T.V. 


Whilst we waited for the fire to heat up we sang campfire songs.


When the fire was white-hot, we toasted marshmallows.








I think we all enjoyed learning how to build a fire and toasting marshmallows!
