Year 9 Outdoor Learning

Persevering to develop our skills 

Year 9 Red and Lime Classes were really challenged this week in Outdoor Learning and showed real resilience. After lots of preparation work to reinforce our fire safety knowledge, Year 9 chose to make either a teepee or a waffle fire and lit it with the ferro rods. Lime’s fire caught and kept us warm; Red did not manage to light it this week despite HUGE efforts and great sparking skills. This was frustrating for everyone, but they maintained their positivity and are looking forward to trying alternative techniques to make a campfire next time.
