Resilience was todays biggest lesson at Antingham & Southrepps Primary School. Last week the shelters the children had worked on so well making them wage proof and only using natural materials were pulled down. 4 shelters were destroyed in total.
This afternoon KS1 took all the old shelter and started making a new one!! Well done 👏

Great axing and fire at Lingwood Primary Academy launch pad. They all did a terrific job being safe with the axe and letting me know why we needed to cut the down thinner. Lots of lost skills learnt and used today.

Demonstration of some primitive skills. Cut some green hazel and make a slice in it. Makes a great gripping tool to hold the shell.
Place the resin over the fire and we have a simple and effective solution.

Was a nice catch up and the school are eager to join the National Bushcraft School Association. The head has seen first hand how Bushcrafters can add so much to a school and we are very happy to be onboard.
