FIRE!

The second activity we did was making a fire.  In this activity we had to build a base of a fire with some sticks and something else that I can't remember the name of.  We also had to have a go at making sparks with flint and steel!

The first thing my troop did was making a base of the fire.  This was really easy because all you had to do is build a little tee pee with sticks.  Then my troop went to the flint and steel.  People that had done it before said that it was really hard to get sparks.  When I hit it first I got no sparks, the next time I hit it I got a whole bunch of sparks!  When all the groups had a go at making the base of the fire and making sparks with flint and steel, Mrs Kennedy tried to make a actual fire.  This didn't work because there was too much wind.  My favourite part was making sparks with flint and steel because I could actually get sparks!
