Den building!

We had a fun end to the day today building dens in the school grounds. We had to work as a team to construct a den which we could sit under as a shelter. Building the dens required good teamwork skills. Which den do you think would provide the best shelter?
Thank you very much to the Living With Nature team who organised the event for the whole school.
