Our roundhouse, half-finished though it is, has come into its' own already as a perfectly serviceable shelter from the elements when we do our Forest School sessions on Tuesdays. The weather turned against us this week and there was drizzle and a little blustery wind, although it was much milder than of late! Titchfiels Primary School entered into the spirit of things with a log fire on which to cook scones using our new tripod and making charcoal drawing sticks and rush rope. Outside under a thick holly tree Barry helped to saw discs of hazel with which to make medallions and several groups had a go at creating a spark with the magnesium sticks. We all enjoyed eating our scones as soon as they were cooked and everyone ended up smelling strongly of smoke and understanding a little of the trials of our ancestors in living in a roundhouse!
