Smelting at forest School

Please enter Learners got creative and experimental last week at forest school.  They learnt about smelting which is: the extraction of metal from its ore by a process involving heating and melting.

They melted pieces of tin on the campfire to then pour into their moulds of choice to create charms and keyrings. It was a great success for the first time trialling it. Some learners also made keyrings out of paracord. All the learners were excited to learn new skills and showed confidence and competence throughout. After these activities learners treat themselves to smores by the fire.introduction for your news story here.
