This week was the last Forest School session for the current groups.  Finally the weather was suitable for toasting marshmallows 🙂

The children were very good at remembering the fire safety rules.

Everyone enjoyed themselves, some children discovered that burnt marshmallows are not very tasty!

When toasting marshmallows it is important to kneel in the ‘respect position’ with one knee down and one knee up.  This is a stable position and it is easy to get out of the way quickly and safely if necessary.

After the marshmallow is toasted it is still very hot so we needed to blow it 20 times before we ate it!

Finally we poured water over the ashes to make sure the fire was completely out.  As we did this we made a wish.
