Chapter Chat

This is my big Chapter Chat for the term. The hardest part was colouring in because it's hard to stay in the lines. The easiest part was drawing it because like most times I know in my head what I want to do. I had lots of fun doing this activity this term. This is always the bit if the term that I love doing because it is so fun and exiting. I hope you like my Chapter Chat for this term.

Year Six Bike Ride

These are some photos from the year six bike ride me and my dad went on. The first photo is me and my dad biking. That was when he catch up with me and than we were racing really fast. The only thing is that we went past where we were suppose to. It was really funny. But luckily we went to where we would be going anyway. When Mr Fraser catch us he said something like he bust himself to catch up to me and my dad. The second photo is when we were walking with our bikes on the walking path. When we came down to the concert bit he got photos of all of us kids and maybe adults. It was really fun seeing all the beautiful views and nature. I am really happy I went on this bike ride and that my dad came too.
The hardest part was biking 20k really fast the whole way. I'm happy we stop for breaks. The easiest part was well nothing I think it was all challenging. I loved seeing and feeling all of it. I had tons of fun on this awesome amazing bike ride. Me and my dad loved all of it a lot.

Bush walk Back Pack

This is my back pack. I had lots of fun doing this and can't wait to see what we will be doing next. I put what I put in the back pack because those are the things I thought I would need to have on me just in cause. The hardest part was thinking of what I might need. The easiest part was getting the photos.

4 Don't  build it by a lake or river

S.T.O.P.
These are some things that might be helpful in the wild

S stands for stop

T stands for think

Fire
A fire is something you need to keep as warm as you can and the smoke goes up in the air so someone might see you and help you out

1 Try make your fire as small as you can

2 The fire needs to be build where the wind will not blow directly on it

3 you will need tinder, kindling and logs

1 Get a box and put some helpful things in it

2 Put something basic in it to start fires

This is my chapter Chat for this week. The hardest part was colouring the rainbow because it was hard to not go over the block letters. The easiest part was writing the letters ghost. I had lots of fun doing this activity and I can't wait till next time to try and do even better than this week.

Reef Knot

This is my reef knot that I tied. It took me a while to learn how to tie this knot but I did it in the end like the other knot I did. I had lots of fun doing this knot as well as the other two that I did. This knot is used to tie two ends of a single rope pieces together such that they will secure something. I give this knot a 4/5  because it was fun to do but it was really hard, l'm happy I keep trying to do it.

Alpine butterfly knot

This is my Alpine butterfly knot. I had lots of fun trying to tie this knot because it was a real challenge to do. I tried my best and in the end I did it. This knot is good to create an attachment point to the middle of a climbing rope. I would give this a 3/5 because I liked the challenge but it got a little to hard.

Figure eight knot

This is my figure eight knot.If you ask me I would say that this knot is a really fun one to learn how to tie. Its nice and simple to do. Its also really good when your climbing up a mountain. It is know as one of the strongest knots. This is a really good knot that you can tie because its really strong and I think you can use it for different things. I would give this a 4/5 because it was fun to learn how to tie but it was also really difficult.

Putting up a tent as a team

This is the tent me and my troop put up together. The easiest part was having the photo taking and the hardest part was taking the tent down because the poles keep coming apart. I had lot's of fun doing this with my team and I think we worked really well all together. I can't wait to see what we will be doing next. Hopefully we get a gold badge because we worked so well as a team.

Putting up our amazing Shelter as a great team

For making our Shelter I think we all worked as a great team. I think the hardest part was  thinking of a way to make a shelter and agree on it. The easiest part was was having the photo taking because my mum takes photos of me all the time and I'm use to it. I have had lot's of fun working with my team and to make the shelter and everything and can't wait to see what we will be next that we do as a group. How we made our tent was tie the rope to one tree and then one tree next to it. Then put the tarp on the rope and then in the little holes put sticks in so the tarp doesn't blow away.

Athletics Day

Athletics Day
Athletics day was really fun. Like normal I got up early out of bed to get ready for the big day that was a head of me. This year I did the long jump, shot put, all the runs and high jump that I have never done ever. In high jump I think I did really well with not of done it at all before. The first jump I got over on my first go and same with when they made it higher. but when they made it higher again I just couldn't get over, I almost did but I didn't make it over. With long jump I don't know what place I came but I think I did well. Shot put I didn't make it through but that's not the one that I love doing, the running is. This year for all the races in the 100m I got into the final and I think I came about maybe third. then I did the 800m and almost came first but I think I just gave in and came third. The 200m I got into the finals is well and almost came first but I ended up coming second place. I think I should be proud of myself for my effort and giving it my best try.

CC W5 T4

This week I did research centre and had lot's of fun doing it. The hardest part of it was picking the records I was going to do because  there was so many of them to chose from. The easiest part was getting the photos of the people because for me that's simple you just have to pick which one you want. This connects to the story because at the start of the book he was always going on about the world records. He said in the book that Usain Bolt was the fastest at running so I did him. I picked another task to do from another week because this is the one I really wanted to try and give a go.

The Falcons amazing shelters they would like to have a go at building.

These are the two bush shelters that we would like to have a go at building. We think that the
one on the left is the one that we are most likely to build. We are going to do our best and work as a
team to build a shelter altogether. We are all really excited to start building it to see what it will look like
in the end. The tools that we think we will need to be using is teamwork, rope, and tarp also maybe some
sticks. To get through this and finish it we will need to use our learning powers and work together as a
team.

Shelter Building Blog Post

1. Shelters are use to protect people from things like harsh elements and animals
from the wild that will hurt you. Some animals that might hurt you are wolves, any
big cats, maybe foxes, some insects can hurt you and lots of other things. Some
shelters are used to fight the cold and others are used to protect you from the heat.
When trying to survive in a jungle area a shelter can be used to lift a person off the
ground providing a dry sleeping area.

2. If you build your shelter by running water like a lake or a river it is easier to get
water to drink. I would call this a pro but you don't want to make it to close to a river or a lake
or the water could wash you away. I think the water washing you away would be a con. some more
pros are that shelters are easy and quick to build and it can be water proof if built correctly.
Some more cons are it might take a lot of tools require to be built right and shelters are normally not
very big so it might only have a naff shelter for one person.

3. You should try to avoid building your shelter on the top of a hill because you might
get cold wind all the time and cold air at night time. But if you do build your shelter on a hill
people might be able to see you and help you. I think a good place to build a shelter is on flat ground
so you don't have that much of a cold wind coming through at night time and in the day time. never build your shelter on the dump ground.

4. Materials to build you shelter might be wood, leaves, rope, sticks and lot's of other things. to build a shelter you have to have things to be able to make it. So I think it's what ever you can find to make it or what ever you have on you to make it.
