But first a couple of drawings they did that were very good. Caden designed a dog house for George. He drew the front, back and side panels and the top - then I explained to him about making sure the dimensions were accurate so the edges all matched up. So he wrote on the dimensions too.
Caden also drew an emerald dragon and Miles did this rather awesome drawing of Yoda and Darth Vader - my favourity Milesy so far (spin off from Banksy IYKWIM)
So our own little forest school. It is pretty much a blank canvas at the moment but there is a good cleared area where the cows like to go in and chill out so it's fairly well suited to making what we want. There is a little stream right down the middle - perfect for making a bridge or two at some point - great woodwork projects for the kids.
There is already a bad bridge across - they all scrambled over it, it's soft and not far to fall. Just a bit wet if they do.
That was our first trip to check it out. The second trip we did, was with supplies... they took sticks and toys and lots of determination.
They all selected an area at the other side of the 'river' for their camp and chose a patch each. We started bending the saplings across each other to make a natural roof and pulling off non spiky leaves to make the floor.
Marcs area complete with green carpet!
Bella's area
Miles' area - he has good security - a nettle patch at the back of his house!
And.... Caden's area.. haha
