Forest School this week had the P4s working on building human shelters. In groups of six, the children had time to plan and build a den using a few bamboo sticks, some large plastic sheets and several pegs along with whatever other resources they could find.
Some children decided to use trees or fencing to attach their den to. Others decided to use leaves and ground debris to create boundaries to their shelter.
When evaluating the session, the majority of children enjoyed it as they had a chance to build something from their imagination. Others liked the group work.
