Yr 12 Outdoor Environment Studies – Sustainable Campfire Cooking Experience

Well done to the students for their excellent behaviour, respect and application during our cooking on the campfire activity held on Monday 22nd June. It is always our passion to complete as many activities as we can in the outdoors, so we organised the cooking of jaffles, spiced apples and obviously marshmallows with a camp fire.

The students were reflecting on our efforts to be sustainable in relation to the fire practice, as well as considering minimal practices, fire safety and extending skills and awareness of things they could cook on a camp fire instead of the normal trangia stoves.

The students listened very well, coped with the wet weather and made some very well cooked and tasty sandwiches. I think they are all very keen to go camping again and put their skills to practice. Fingers crossed we will be able to extend our class sustainable experiences next term!
