Getting Knotted

Today 4p rose to the challenge of learning to tie two different knots.  Firstly, we mastered the reef knot. It is important that we  remember Miss Thomas’ top tip, which is, ‘right over left, left over right,’  because if  not you could end up with a granny knot.

Next we attempted a clove hitch.  A clove hitch is an important knot becuase it is the starting point for many other knots.

4P, I would like to take this opportunity to say that I am very proud of your determination and your persistence this afternoon.   At home, get a piece of sting or wool and continue to practice.

Remember, knowing some basic knots is useful in many a situation, from making a shelter that wont collapse to  securing objects.
