Session summary

Get building as a team and build a miniature catapult from lollipop sticks and a bridge.

Safety message

  • Always complete a register at the start of the meeting to record who is present.
  • Always remember to risk assess and plan for free time, even if it's just the first five minutes of the meeting.
  • Activities start when the first person arrives and end when the last person leaves, including leaders and their children.
  • Remember to review your risk assessment to ensure you have enough adults, which may be more than the minimum ratio.
  • Check the space is for hazards, keep the exits clear, and know the location of the nearest first aid kits.
