Forest School Accident and Emergency Procedures 1. Forest School Ethos Forest School is an inspirational process that offers all learners regular opportunities to achieve, develop confidence and self esteem, through hands on learning experiences in a local woodland or natural environment with trees. Forest School is a specialised approach that sits within and complements the wider context of outdoor and woodland learning. Croft Corner Forest School Nursery aims to provide holistic, learner led forest school sessions for all our pre-school children within the magical setting of Ecclesall Woods. Our sessions in the woodland offer children opportunities to achieve, develop confidence and self-esteem through hands on learning experiences. Learning experiences are loosely structured in order to accommodate the interests and curiosity of each child. Today's children are often wrapped in cotton wool where they are unable to make their own judgements about risk. Forest School enables children to experience managed risk and make their own decisions and therefore help produce more confident individuals. Physical activity through games, crafts and play encourages better development of gross and fine motor skills; a more balanced and a fitter child.

  • Fire Building
    Fire Building Desired Outcome: Participants will learn to work in partnerships with girls to plan, implement, and evaluate activities. Learning Objectives: By the end of the session participants will be able to: 1. Lay, light, use, and extinguish a fire safely. 2. Demonstrate LNT principles in outdoor activities covered in this course. 2 FIRE BUILDING Preparation Before starting – things to think about 1. What is the purpose for the fire? 2. What size fire do you need – too big is unnecessary and wasteful of fuel 3. What material is available? Found locally or need to bring it in? 4. What are the weather conditions? 5. What are the rules for fires? Where can fires be built? 6. Plan enough time for the fire to burn down and for appropriate clean-up Fire Safety - Your Primary Concern Keep hair tied back, remove loose or baggy clothing that might fall into the flames. Review with the girls “Stop, drop, and roll” so they know what to do if clothing catches fire. Use a designated fire ring, away from overhanging branches and leaf litter. Have a bucket of sand or water on hand before lighting the first match. Keep a shovel or rake nearby for beating out sparks that fall to earth. Avoid putting leaves into the flame; bits of burning leaf float on hot air and may cause wildfire. NEVER leave a fire unattended! Pile firewood on the windward side of the fire, well away from the flames. Do not pour lighter fluid onto an open campfire! Use care and follow manufacturer’s instructions when using cook stoves.

  • Experimental Study of Burning Rate in Jet-Fuel Pool Fires
    Experimental Study of Burning Rate in Jet-Fuel Pool Fires Shihong Yan, William Ciro, Eric O. Eddings·, Adel F. Sarofim ..;-' Department of Chemical & Fuels Engineering University of Utah Salt Lake City, UT 84112 Abstract Experiments were carried out in a 30 cm diameter pool fire, for both transient and steady-state conditions, utilizing jet fuel, Norpar-15, and a surrogate mixture of hydrocarbons that simulates jet-fuel behavior in a pool fire. Steady state pool fire tests match previous results well. The transient burning rate profile for jet fuel showed a high peak value early in the experiment, followed by a gradual decrease in burning rate as the balance of the fuel was consumed. Transient experiments with a jet fuel surrogate demonstrated similar behavi or to the jet fuel. However, experiments perforn1ed with Norpar-15) yielded approximately the same value for both transient and steady-state burning rates. GC analysis of fuel samples taken from the pool fire pan over time elearly demonstrated a preferential burning of the light, volatile hydrocarbons during the early stages ofthe transient fires, which might result in a higher burning rate early on, follow by a slower rate when consuming the less volatile residual hydrocarbons. Results highlight the importance of understanding fuel chemistry when attempting to model, either experimentally or computationally, the pool fire behavior of complex fuel mixtures. Intmduction Experimental Procedures Open hydrocarbon pool fires are present in many Jet fuel (Jet-A, density, 805 kg/m3) ",as burned in a accident scenarios. The rate of pool burning is one of the steel pan, 0.3048111 in diameter and 0.1016 m deep, rigidly most commonly used indicators to characterize pool fires.
