Yesterday we enjoyed our long awaited campfire. The children first learnt about the fire triangle including the 3 components needed for a fire: fuel, oxygen and ignition. We also talked about how to stop a fire safely including water, fire blanket or removing fuel.
The class then collected spaghetti and sausage sized sticks to feed our fire. We built the fire together before all having a chance to use the flint and steel to make sparks. When the fire was hot enough we then roasted our own marshmallows which were delicious!
