Making a fire/ Cooking food

First we recapped on what a hazard and a risk is. A hazard is a object that can cause harm and a risk is a possibility that a hazard can cause harm. The activities we did was making a fire and cooking s'mores.

First, we started by talking about the conditions of the activities. Some of the conditions were: we are using a brazier, the fire would be lit on concrete, and there is good enough weather for the fire to be lit.

Next, we talked about the hazards and risks, and wrote the consequences. Then we found out ways we could stop those consequences from happening, and we wrote down an emergency plan of what would happen if those consequences elevated.

Then we did the same process for making s'mores over the fire.

Once the fire was lit, we were given a demonstration by Mr Ogilvie of how the marshmallows should be cooked. Mr Ogilvie told us to put three marshmallows on a skewer and the skewer was to be held vertically through the rectangular gaps of the brazier. We then added chocolate sauce if you like to and the crackers to complete the s'more.
