A baby arrives and making a stool to sit on - just my size!

When we arrived this morning we had a real treat. During the early hours of the morning a baby Alpaca was born and by the time we saw it, it was just 6 hours old! We were sure to give the baby and it's mum lots of space and we stood and watched. The mum hummed to the baby to keep it close by so that she could ensure it's safety. Once up at the base, we played a game and then talked about the project we would be working on for the next few days. We look at the tools and discussed safe working procedures. After this we found a stick to use as a measure for the legs of the stools that we are working on. We used a bow saw to cut four legs for our stools. Then we looked at smaller branches that could be used to aid in building the frame for our stools. It was soon lunch time and some of us sat in the den. After lunch we went over to the climbing trees and then wandered back to the gate. It was a warm walk back but we all had a fantastic day and now can't wait until tomorrow to complete our projects!
