The water bucket again!

This is a really good way to think about what you are going to write.  I can't wait to see what Nathan and Isaac write tomorrow.

The water bucket at camp

Liam and Freya thought carefully about a very special moment on camp.

Check out camp!

We had a wonderful time.  Take a look at the evidence.  Make sure you all send your photos in so we can see what everyone else got up to - not just evidence from Allana's iPad!

Moment in time - camp

Jeremy and Angus have used a Photo-Babble to help them think about a "moment in time' from camp.  Can you guess what moment they are thinking of?

Forest Survivor

On Thursday we went to Forest Survivor to learn about how to be safe in a forest. Our instructor taught us how to build a hut out of branches from the forest, that we could spend the night it for protection. Then we went off to build our own one in groups.

First we got a spine which is a large trunk. Then smaller twigs are laid on the trunk. These are called ribs. That gives you a frame to lay pine needles and bushy bits to stop the wind and rain getting through.

We were judged on the shelter fitting us all and keeping us warm. We also needed a mattress of needles to stop our body heat escaping into the ground.

We really enjoyed building our huts and will use this knowledge if we ever get lost in a forest. Thank you to the City Council Teachers.
