The Butterflies went to the forest to build a den. 

They took with them nets, fabrics and a range of different fastenings. 

When the children got to the forest they collected items for den such as sticks and twigs. 

They talked about what would be strong enough to hold the den. 

The children hung fabrics on tree's and used gross physical skills to reach up and climb.

They gave each other roles in play and extended play ques.
