Year 5 in the woods, Autumn term 2

Completing our work on construction knots and den building, we developed our skills at tying a tripod lashing.   The children looked at the way other people had used tripod lashings in chair and construction projects, before having a go themselves…

A tripod lashing joins three sticks together with a weaving and frapping technique.

 

08/12/20 This week in the woods the children were set a challenge! Miss Brown’s invisible friend fell ill and needed stretcher transport out of the woods, the children worked to build stretchers as fast as they could, using tripod, square lashings, tarpaulins, coats and even planks and tyres…

 

And in other news, some children invented tarp surfing…!!!
