A cloudy cool day ideal for thatching

 During the thatching exercise the students chat and talk. Thatching was a social experience, a bonding experience. And the students experienced this. That is one of the intents and goals of the exercise. To bring back a piece of the past: sitting together quietly and enjoying each other's company.
