What’s brown and has hazel nuts in it ? Squirrel poo!!!
Today with Ormesby Village Schools Federation & Lingwood Primary Academy was about the Hazel. Looking at the uses of the hazel that included fire by friction, walking sticks, bows, tea & hazel nuts to name a few of the great things the hazel does for us and nature.

Second session with Ormesby Village Schools Federation. All classes lit their own fire using a steel striker & cotton wool. We discussed fire safety how to be safe around a fire.

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.

Today we are launching the NBSA 's website and online membership form.
