Day Three - A Day in the Forest

Well - what a wonderful day we've had! After a breakfast of bacon butties, we hopped into the minibus to go to the woods. Throughout the day we enjoyed three different activities: fire lighting, campfire cooking and archery. 

Campfire Cooking
Our instructor, Jason, demonstrated how to make simple bread using only flour and water. We then all made our own dough (who needs the Bake Off?) before deciding what topping or filling to have. Jason then showed us how to cook it on the fire until it was ready to eat. Delicious! 

Fire lighting 
Emma showed us how to start a small fire using cotton wool and different varieties of wood. We then enjoyed making s'mores (and getting them around our faces!). 

Archery 
Joe, the instructor who has been with us all week, showed us how to become archers! It was great fun and we loved taking part in different competitions!

We ended the day with a walk down to the beach in the late afternoon sunshine. We had great fun taking part in sandcastle competition to see who could make the best sand alligator! Afterwards, we played different beach games whilst watching the sun go down. Then it was back to camp for a story and a well deserved sleep!
