Hand-in-hand Stepping Stones pupils took a guided tour of bushcraft. They explored the wooded area that surrounds the eight-acre site of Berkhamsted Pre-Prep<\/a>. Their journey coincided with the bushcraft activities for Berkhamsted Girls Year 7.<\/p>\n

Over 70 Senior School girls were busy building fires, learning knife skills and building a camp when the three-year-old children of Stepping Stones arrived.<\/p>\n

\"Stepping<\/p>\n

It was an exceptional opportunity for learning to take place between peers eight years apart. The fascinated children of Stepping Stones engaged with Year 7 by asking many curious questions. The first being a simple \u201cwhat are you doing here?\u201d Inspired by what they saw they wanted to know how the girls built their dens, what they were cooking and so much more. They learned how they made the fire, where they sourced the materials and most importantly some of the safety aspects of life outdoors.<\/p>\n
