Year 4 – Knots – Forest School

This half-term, children in Year 4 will be learning to pitch tarps to create a tent shelter using using a tarp, rope and cord. In order to do this, pupils have to master two types of knots – the Prusik and Bowline. Today’s session was an introduction to both. Pupils learnt about the uses and advantages of both knots before having a go themselves. They all mastered the Prusik knot and made progress in making the Bowline – which is a much more complicated knot to make. Well done Y4!
