Forest School: week 2

my elder pencil


Today at forest school I made a pencil. I had to take about 3 quarters of the pith out of an elder stick and replace it with charcoal. It took a while to do it but it was worth it in the end. I made a trail by drawing Batman faces on the trees with my elder pencil. My friends had to go around the trees looking for the Batman trail. Then I had to find some leaves and moss which I stuck onto a cardboard bookmark. My mum is going to laminate it for me. Lucy made a camp fire and everybody helped to collect logs for it.
