Survival backpack.

This is the survival backpack that I made for our survivor. I put in some rope, a sleeping bag, a flint and steel rod, a first aid kit, a tent, and a torch.

The easiest thing was putting in all the images and the hardest part was writing what all of the equipment was needed for.

Fabulous finish.

In the past 2 weeks, we have been working on our fabulous finish.
For my fabulous finish, I drew a track shoe with some facts about Ghost.
The hardest thing was definitely when I broke my arm because I was halfway through going over with sharpie so it was hard to keep going, but with my friend's help, I got it done!

Bush survival

Bush survival.

This time for our survivor we had to answer these questions.
The hardest thing was finding the information about each question, the easiest
thing was writing it all down.

What the S.T.O.P. acronym means.

S: Stop. Whatever you are doing just pause.

T: Take a breath. Re-connect with your breath.

O: Observe. Notice what is happening. What is happening inside you,
and outside of you?

P: Plan. Think about what to do.

How to find water.

1. One way to find water is to dig a hole in the ground and
then drink from there.

2. Use any and all containers you might have on you and fill them using
flowing water.

3. Tie the corners of a tarp around trees a few feet off the ground,
place a small rock in the center to create a depression, and let the water
collect overnight.

How to make a fire.

1. Use dry wood.

2. Flint and steel rod or matches.

3. Use some dried grass as a tinder which will be one of the key
things to getting your fire started.

Build a shelter.

1. Build on high ground so that animals will have less chance of getting you.

2. Away from water that can overflow in the night.

3. Have a sheltered area to sleep in.

Basic first aid.

In your first aid kit, you will need. . . 

1.Bandages and plasters, in case you get cut.

2.Scissors, in case you need to cut something.

3. And creams, for insect bites and stings.

Signaling for help.

1. Fire Distress flares so people will be able to locate you.

2. Use smoke and fire so that the smoke will show people where you are.

3. Whistle as loud as you can because people can recognize that noise well.

Pohutakawa tree term 4 week 5.

C.C. Term 4 Week 4 A Way With Words.

This week for my Chapter Chat I have done an Acrostic poem for A Way With Words and I did one for Ghost.
I did Ghost because he is one of the main characters in our book.

Knot tying.

KNOTS

 This week we have been learning how to tie some different types of knots.
We had to do at least 3 different types of knots and I choose to do the Reef Knot, the Overhand Knot, and Figure 8 Knot.
The Overhand Knot is good for if you want to hang togs up if you go camping, the reef knot is good if you want something to be tied really sturdy, and the figure 8 knot is good for stopping a line slide out of place 
I rate the Knots that I tied a four out of five because they were simple to tie but strong.

CC T4 W4 Creation station.

This is my Chapter chat for Week three, Term 4.

shelter building task 2 part 2.

This is my troop and I setting up our tent to earn our badge, the hardest part about this was reading the instructions because the writing was quite small and we didn't know that there was writing until halfway through.
The thing that worked well was our team because we worked really well together and had good teamwork.
the thing that I learned that it is not very easy to put up a tent without instructions.

Shelter building task 2

One of the shelters that we are going to make will be the Tarp shelter,
it is easy to make but still very suitable to sleep in.
We reckon that it could have a few people to sleep in it. And also the Tarp shelter because it is
easy and suitable to build and sleep in.

What are their key features and why we have chosen to build them?
We all agreed on these two huts to build ( AN A-FRAME & TARP TEEPEE ).
We chose to build the TARP because it looks like it has a lot of
space and looks easy and quick to make. We chose to build the TARP (Teepee)
Because we think that more than two people will be able to fit in it,
although it might be a bit challenging to make. 

Shelter Building task 1

Shelter building

Where is the best place to build a shelter?

The best place is on high ground and close to a water supply like a river but far enough away so that you don't attract bugs.

What does the shelter need to protect you from?

The shelter needs to protect you from animals like snakes and floods so it is best to build it on high grounds. You also need it to protect you from bugs and it needs to be warm.

What materials do you need to build a shelter?

To build a shelter you need trees and sticks for your structure and some leaves and ferns for the top and the sides.

Pros and cons of sleeping in a shelter?

The cons are bug bites because they could get infected easily, bad weather and freezing temperatures because it would be hard to go to sleep and sleep is one of the most important things in the wild.

The pros are sleeping outside because it would be fun and sleeping with nature.
