Bows and arrows

26/7/2016

Some very fun bow and arrow makers came today and some bows that mysteriously transformed themselves into washing lines for hedgehogs!

We collected feathers, set up a camp,  used loppers to cut willow and Beech, used potato peeler's and knives to whittle and peel the bark from the bow wood, used twine and tied knots and hey presto - a beautiful bow! We then collected straight branches to make our arrows, used peeler's and knives to create patterns in the arrow wood, shaped and added feathers that we had collected earlier - Wow a good job done and new skills learnt about being safe with tools, different types of wood, trees and leaves, measuring lengths, knot tying and sharing
