"Good morning everyone! Today, we’re diving into an exciting topic: Outdoor Survival, specifically focusing on making fire and understanding fire safety. Before we begin, let's discuss our objectives for today. By the end of this lesson, you should have a solid understanding of the principles of fire safety, learn different methods for starting a fire in outdoor conditions, and work together in groups to enhance teamwork and communication skills.
Before we get hands-on, I want to underline the importance of safety. When we're working with fire, there are potential hazards we need to be aware of. This includes understanding how to properly use our safety gear, such as gloves and goggles, and knowing our surroundings. Make sure not to crowd around the fire area, and always keep a safe distance.
Now, can anyone tell me a fire hazard we should avoid? Yes, that's right, not having water nearby in case of an emergency is a big one! There will also be a first aid kit on hand, just in case. Remember, our safety is the top priority.
Let’s all gather our materials and get ready for the next step."
"Next, I'm going to hand out these printable cards. Each of you will need to fill it in during our lesson, focusing on fire-starting methods and safety practices that we discuss today.
As you fill out the cards, think critically about what you are learning and how you can apply it. These will help guide your reflective writing for homework, so be attentive.
Please raise your hand when you receive your card. I'll give you a moment to read through it and prepare to jot down notes during the group activity."
"Now it’s time to get into our groups. I want everyone to form groups of five. Each group will explore different fire-starting techniques, such as flint and steel or friction methods.
As you work, I’ll circulate around the room to provide guidance and any resources you need. Remember to discuss amongst yourselves the importance of each technique, and think about how you might apply these methods in a real outdoor survival situation.
You have 20 minutes for this activity. Make sure one person in each group takes notes so that everyone can contribute to the findings."
"Alright everyone, well done on the group activity! Let's take a quick break and energise ourselves.
I want you all to stand up and follow along with me for a quick warm-up exercise. Let's do some arm circles, jumping jacks, and then a quick round of a light game that will help us relax.
Remember, staying physically active keeps our energy levels high for the rest of the lesson. Let’s do this for about 10 minutes!"
"Great job everyone! Now that we’re warmed up, it’s time for a demonstration of the fire-making techniques we discussed earlier.
I'll show you how to properly set up your fire area, the correct way to use flint, kindling, and matches. It's vital that everyone pays close attention to the safety procedures, so gather around and watch carefully.
As I demonstrate, please feel free to ask questions if you're unsure about something regarding the materials or techniques."
"Thank you for your attention during the demonstration! Now, I'd like everyone to submit their completed printable cards for an informal review.
I’ll take a moment to look over these and provide some feedback based on your answers. If you have any questions or need clarification on what you’ve written, now's the time to ask.
Don’t worry, this isn’t graded, but I will provide feedback in our next lesson. Let’s wrap up today with a reminder to think over what you've learned when completing your reflective homework task."
