Y5 – Campfire Cooking – Forest School – 12/10/26

Building on their knowledge of campfires, Year 5 were challenged in teams to use kelly kettles to create hot chocolate. Making a fire lay inside a kettle base is a tricky, complicated and delicate job but one the children persevered with and, some on their fifth attempts, were all able to start a fire. Teams encountered more challenges in keeping their fires alive however. Pupils had to make quick decisions, communicate well and split the roles evenly amongst their teams, with varying success. Remaining safe in adding the kettle, feeding the fire and managing their risk, teams then heated the water further before pouring into cups to enjoy a tasty reward for their hard work. Well done!
