Our classes have been inquiring into the use of fire as a tool.  In the classroom we have been lighting a candle while we listen to a story or during relaxation.  We have talked about how we can be safe around a candle and fire, and made a class book.  Last week during our time in the wetlands, we made a small camp fire and learnt how to make charcoal that we could later use as a drawing tool.  We made reference to sticks by grouping them as either mouse tails, possum tails or kangaroo tails.

We all like to go to the wetlands where we have learnt how to make our own paint and whittle sticks.  We like looking for insects and making our own cubbies.
