My Bush Survival DLO (Digital Learning Object)

At YMS we do the William Pike Challenge; as part of this we do outdoor activities. This was one of the activities we have done. I made this slideshow to show how to survive in the bush. Throughout this week we have made DLO's explaining what you need to do if you got lost in the bush. There are a few things but they'll all help; here it is...

Haiku Poem's

This is my Haiku poem. A haiku poem is a type of poem where the top line has 5 syllables and second line has 7 syllables and the third line has 5 syllables. It was done in Rimu class on the 6th of July. We did them about our hike in the Port Hills on Monday. It was a 4-5 hour walk and Zach -http://ymszachary.blogspot.co.nz/ and I ran some. I hope you like my Haiku poem.

On Monday I hiked

I went with Rimu class I

Felt sore after

My surfing Day!!!!

Surfing was easier then I thought but I heard loads of tips from my Dad. The hard bit was catching a wave and then walking all the way back out to get more waves.

I love surfing it is my favourite outdoor activity I've ever done. I can't wait to do some more activities at school.

One of the things I didn't like about this was I felt trapped in that wetsuit the whole time. But when I took it off I felt weird.

Here is my POEM

I can smell all the salty air when  I breath deep.

I can taste the salty water in my mouth craving fresh water.

I can feel the waves crashing in hitting me and pulling me under.

I can hear water in my ears, it’s stuck and annoying.

I can see sand always scratching.

I can see cargo ships unloading.

I can feel the tight swimsuit squeezing on me.

I can see blue skies and sun beaming down.

William Pike Challenge

On Tuesday William Pike came to our school. We cooked dinner for everyone. I made sushi. My favourite food was Jesse and Joe’s banana cake.

We then went to the wharehui and he talked to us about his life and what happened to him and all his embarrassing moments.William Pike was climbing Mt ruapehu and while he was sleeping in a cabin the door burst open with mud and yuck dirt.

What? THE MOUNTAIN ERUPTED!!!!.

while he was sleeping on a mountain it erupted OMG!!! Scary. His friend was able to get out but William was not. His brave friend Soldiered on for his friend and got help at the top of the mountain What a great friend. He went through cold temperatures in his boots and PJ’s.

My favourite part was the storytelling it was quite gruesome and meaningful at the same time.
