Silver Birch listening to Chris discuss den building.

We had a fantastic morning participating in the den building with Chris. The children worked in small groups demonstrating teamwork, speaking and listening skills, perseverance, resilience and determination.

The aim of the activity was to create a den that would withstand both wind and rain.
