Inquiry | Scenario

This week, we found hazards, risks, and the likelihood of those risks in an activity that we did in real life. The activities that we did were making a fire and cooking smores with the fire.

First, we started by discussing the circumstances of the activities. Some of the circumstances were: we were using a brazier, we would like the fire at 11pm, the fire would be lit on concrete, and there is good enough weather for the fire to be lit.

Next, we talked about the hazards and risks, and wrote the consequences. Then we found out ways we could prevent those consequences from happening, and wrote down what would happen if those consequences elevated.

We did the same process for making smores over the fire.

Once the fire was lit, we were given a demonstration of how the marshmellows should be cooked. There were three marshmellows on a skewer and the skewer was to be held vertically through the gaps of the brazier. We then added chocolate sauce and crackers to complete the smore.

I enjoyed this activity, and I found it challenging to cook marshmellows without burning it. One thing I would like to improve or change is finding more consequences of risks.
