Year 6 at the Clumps

For year 6 topic Through The Door we went to Wittenham Clumps with Ms Grimes to build shelters and make a fire.We started off by getting twigs for the fire. We then watched Ms Grimes make and light it. It was BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got into groups and started discussing our ideas and collecting our materials.We used lots of different techniques including the slashing method where you wrap string around sticks and make them secure. Once we had finished our shelters we roasted marshmallows and drank hot chocolate in our dens. Here are some of the photosof some finished dens and treats that we had:
