Survival Bag

 This is my Survival bag. I got all the stuff that you need going camping or going for a tramp. Even though we will not stay the night I think it's still a good idea do bring a sleeping bag just in case. I added double-ups of stuff in case you run out, I packed a flare gun just in case you get stranded somewhere. As you can see I got some trail mix to eat when you get hungry I got a flashlight to see and I got batteries in case the batteries die. I have a pocket knife so you can cut food and other stuff.

Fabulous Finish

 This is my Fabulous Finish. I did More About Me of Ghost. Under the coloured flaps, it is the same color as the title under it so on every square its the same coloured flap as the title underneath. It was really fun making this. I've never done More About Me but it was so fun for the first time!

Figure 8

This is my figure 8 knot. It was kinda hard but I got lots of people to help. You can use this knot for stopping things from going somewhere.  I got Christine to help me to do most of the knots and it was fun. I wish I mastered more than three knots but oh well. I give this 3-5 because I  thought It wasn't the best one I had done but it was still cool.

Bowline Knot

This is the Bowline knot I made with a little help again but it was really fun. When I first did it I was so confused that it made a tiny baby knot. Yesterday I mastered it but I forgot how to make it so I got some help from a teacher. It was probably more challenging than the reef knot but it was really fun. I give this a 4-5 because it was a little harder and more complicated. You could use this for attaching things onto it.

Reef Knot

Reef Knot!

This is the reef knot that I made. I got a little help though, I made a couple other knots but Ill put them in my next blog post. I'll tell you the knots that I mastered, reef knot, clover hitch, and Alpine butterfly knot. When I first tried doing the reef knot It was kinda hard and I was saying in my head I can't do it but in the end, I did it. Out 1-5 I give it 5 because first, it was challenging but it easy after I mastered it 4 times. You could probably use this for joining other rope to make it stronger.

CC Week 5 T4 Digital design Any Task from the past week

 This is my week 5 Chapter Chat. I made a shoplifter sign of Ghost we were allowed to do any task from the past weeks if you finished all your tasks. It was really fun making this I couldn't draw shoes like that so I got a picture from the internet. The book never said what age Ghost was so I put 12-13. I also put random numbers to make a phone number, so if people know it was Ghost they would call the owner of the sports shop.  I made the background red and white so it look like a running track.  

The Falcons Putting up the Tent!

As a troop, we were putting up the tent!

 Putting up the tent was very Succesful and we did it as a team. It was very fun. The hardest part was trying to take it down and the easiest part was taking the photo with it. I didn't go in the tent because there wasn't enough room for me to fit in. We took less than 5 minutes to do the tent, there was a couple mistake we did but we fixed them up.

Research Centre CC T4 W4

This is my week 4 Term 4 Chapter Chat. This week I did Research Center. You can't really see it but there are facts about Jason Reynolds and a couple questions on the poster,  so sorry that you cant see it. I really had fun researching Jason Reynolds, my favorite part was researching how many books he wrote. This possibly could be my favourite activity so far.

The Falcons Shelter

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 task 1

     shelter building Task 1

The best place to build a shelter is on a flat area. The shelter is to protect you from the wild and mosquitos. you could use a tarp wood or fabric. The pros and cons of living in a bush shelter are getting bitten by mosquitos finding fresh water from a lake getting eaten by a bear and finding food that is fine to eat.
