Knot tying lessons with Mrs.Heaven and Mrs.Loft!!!

This term we are having rotations about surviving in the New Zealand bush. We are in our second rotation and I am in the second rotation with Mrs.Heaven and Mrs.Loft. In this rotation, we have been learning about how to tie different types of knots. I decided to learn about three different types of knots. (Reef Knot, Alpine butterfly Knot, and Overhand knot) Reef Knot, you could use this knot when you need to tie something together. Alpine butterfly Knot, you could use this knot when you need to toe something. Overhand knot, you could also use this to toe something or toe something together.

Chapter Chat week 4 term 4

This week I did the creation station task, the task was to either make coach Brody's GOLD MEDAL or create a book cover of the book Ghost or draw Ghost in his blue defenders track team uniform. I chose to draw Ghost in his blue defenders track team uniform. I also did things that represent him like his family and the silver bullets that he stole.

Shelter Building Task 3 ( building a tent )

The hardest part was trying to put the tent poles in the right place so that the tent would actually arch up the way it is sposed to.

The thing that worked well the most was that we all worked together so that the tent was build properly.

I learned that you actually have to read the instructions. (HOW TO READ INSTRUCTIONS PROPLRLEY).

I hope that we will be able to build another tent again because it was so fun.

Chapter Chat Term 4 Week 3

This week for Chapter Chat I did research center. The task for the research center this week was that you had to research topics of Albinism, Ear Drums or Sunflower seeds. I researched sunflower seeds Because in the book that we are reading ( Ghost ) the main character eats sunflower seeds. I did a poster of sunflower seeds and sunflowers hope you like it.

Shelter building Task 2

The shelters that we are going to make will be the Tarp shelter, an easy shelter to make but
still very suitable to sleep in. We reckon that it could have a few people to sleep in. And also
the teepee 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 shelter need to protect you from: Your shelter needs to protect you from animals like snakes and also floods so it is best to build on high grounds. You also need to watch out for bugs and bad weather so you need warmth from your shelter and bring some bug spray.

What materials do you need to build a shelter: You will need Sticks, Trees ( that are in the bush ), Ferns, Tarp ( if you bring it with you ), Rope ( if you bring it with you ), Rocks,

What are the pros and cons of sleeping in a bush shelter: Some Pros are spending time with Nature and getting to see all the beautiful plants, flowers, and trees. Going fishing, experiencing sleeping outside and experiencing all the easy and hard tasks on how to make a shelter. Some Cons are that you can get bitten by mosquitoes and that you might need to watch out for the weather because it could rain, there could be thunder and lightning and the could be strong winds or it could be very hot and humid.
