Toasting Marshmallows

On Friday last week we toasted marshmallows in the Sandpit over an old milo tin. The children were so excited. We were very authentic in our experience - breaking twigs of the bushes to use as skewers. The children had a fantastic time trying to toast their marshmallow just enough, some were however a little charred!
It was a fantastic practical learning experience for the children. We discussed and modelled safe fire use and risk management and the children were able to build apon their developing working theories for making sense of the natural, material, social and physical world.

We only stopped because we ran out of marshmallows!!!
