On the 19th of January 2015 Te Poutama held a survivor day on the top field. In our team we had Nicholas -team leader, Me-team co-leader, James Broom, James Bright, Caleb Grimstrup and Felix. We first made a sun shelter ( witch me and Nicholas pre-made at Nick’s place) It consisted of four bamboo poles hammered into the turf then a tarpaulin was tied between them (it wasn't easy because it was windy) The excess rope was used for guidelines. We made bamboo pegs, Then we had a snack, then we started on our sleeping shelter. For our sleeping shelter we had two poles hammered into the ground with a long piece of rope tied between them near the top. Then we spread a tarpaulin over the top hammered tent pegs through the holes in the tarp. So now all we had to do was make guidelines for the bamboo poles.
After that we tried cooking baked beans on my penny can but we set fire to the grass. whoops! So we abandoned the baked beans and cooked our sausages and pineapple rings on the school BBQ. By that time it was 1:30, time for our first challenge of the day class tug of war. After all the re-matching. Room 15 came first then 17, 14 and then us as a team room 16.
Next thing we know we’re heaving all our day gear back to the classrooms, 2:50 almost time to go home. SURPRISE ATTACK! The teachers have water guns and buckets of water balloons (filled by room 5, 6 and 7 during afternoon) dragged out.Splash Splash Splash! I was soaked. 3:00 time to go home YAY.
