I missed last weeks club due to prior commitmnts, but Craig had arranged for someone else to stand in as they ran through different methods of making fire.
Club this week was great, we planned on doing fire 2.0, after some discussion before it started we decided that if we split the group into 2 we could manage a fire each with 20+ kids each.
We got all the kids to pair up and then split the pairs, this sounds a bit mean but it ment that kids that usually get very excited being alongside each other were split, giving us more manageable groups.
We each gave a fire lecture, this normally lasts about 20 mins but we thought as they were so young we would make it a bit shorter to keep their attention, after half hour of lecturing (they asked so many good questions) we cut it short and got them preparing the fire, we had built the fire with a cord tired above so when it got to a certain height it was ready, they all had a go at putting wood onto the fire then, we got out the marshmallows (we had told them that this was not happening).
They all ate these toasted with a biscuit before going back for their parents, I'm pleased to say, no one got burnt on this week.
Another successful club, on the way home we discussed the plans for the last few weeks, we have a week off next week due to half term then back on it.
