One Tuesday, we went down to the ashley river for our school inquiry topic alive to survive. We left school at around 9:15am and began walking down to the river.The line of people was really long!!!!! When we got there, we all sat down and had some morning tea, there was a lot of chatter about our exciting day ahead... The teachers then put us in our house groups. We later called ours the Kowhai Fighters. As the other groups trudged off, we sat happily and waited to start our bivvys. Ours was small, but quite waterproof. We had two rooms and all worked together as a team. After a good ten minutes of building, we were called over to go to our first aid class.Our teacher:{ mrs monk } told us we had to transport Baily on a makeshift stretcher. This was fun and took us to our next location, the river crossing. When we got to the river crossing, Mr F was waiting for us. We talked about several ways to cross a river, and then got into pairs, and crossed. We got very wet, but it was still fun. After that we went back to the bivvys for lunch. After a bite to eat, we were back to work on our bivvys. We were soon done and were judged................... We were not one of the groups that won, but Conners was. There hut was massive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were all really tired and soon headed back to school. We got there at 3 and went home, the good thoughts of the day lingering in our minds.
