This week, Early Learning Hurd were joined by Mr Mark Hassell during their Bush Learning program at the Scotch Oakburn Park Wetlands.
Mr Hassell led the session, demonstrating how to make a fire and how to start it without matches. The children learnt how to make damper, and then cooked it on a stick using the fire. Even better, they had the chance to enjoy the damper, with butter, jam and honey.
Once the fire had been extinguished, some of the charcoal from the fire was collected and taken back to their classroom at the Elphin Campus, where it will be used in various learning experiences. The bush learning program continues to excite and educate this group of young learners.
