LKS2 – Knots – Forest School

We’ve had a wonderful outside in the warm autumnal sunshine practicing our knot tying skills. To begin with, we played the game ‘Fire and Tarps’ where we developed our listening and communication skills to avoid being eliminated by Mr Gamble. Afterwards, we revisited our knot skills in order to continue to learn how to put a shelter up correctly using rope and tarp. We practiced tying a Prusik knot and then learnt about the much harder Bowline knot. Once we were more confident and accurate in making them, we practiced further by tying rope to sticks and trees in preparation for putting a shelter up next time.
