A summary

THIS IS A WORKSHOP TAKING PLACE AT THE FSA WIRRAL ROADSHOW - YOU MUST HAVE A ROADSHOW TICKET TO ATTEND THIS WORKSHOP!

Join Rupert Loch for this uplifting workshop learning to create and play with dangerous toys. There is an understandable nervousness about including toys that are perceived as being dangerous within Forest School sessions. In this session you will be introduced to a range of Dangerous Toys including Catapults, Shepherd’s Sling, Atlatl and Dart and Boomerangs and given the chance to use them and understand the risks attached to their use and appropriate precautions.

There will be a chance to discuss key aspects of Risk Assessment while making a boomerang and developing a skill you can take back to your own FS sessions (tools, guidance and plywood blanks provided for £8).
