In our session, we created our own Hapa-Zome bunting to decorate the Forest School area. Quite literally meaning ‘leaf dye’, hapa-zome is the Japanese technique of smashing flowers and leaves into fabric. All of the creations looked fantastic and we think they make an excellent and very fitting addition to our pergola.

After quite a few attempts and lots of determination, we are very proud to say every single member of the group successfully managed to start a fire by striking together flint and steel. It really is much harder than it looks and we were so impressed by your peserverence year 6- well done! 🙂

We then enjoyed a much-deserved snack and drink. This week we cooked hot dogs, hot chocolate and s’mores (of course) on the fire!
