Ewan won this challenge with a paper carrier bag and paper bag for sandwiches which was closed with thread. He also had fruit in its own packaging (apple and banana) and a metal water bottle.
Compare this with the packed lunch on your right which had 6 pieces of single use plastic in it!

After the shelter building we had a break on the grass - it made a nice change from the hard playground!
There was plenty of space for sitting in the shelter to eat.
We had a look at flint and steel fire starters and tried making a spark with the metal ones while the Kelly Kettle got started. We had just enough water for hot chocolate for everyone who brought a mug.
We learned again about how to start a fire and leaving no trace.
Everyone had to stay out side the fire area.
Please look at the comments below to find out what we each learned and enjoyed. Thank youparent helpers and Mrs Wragg and Mia for helping us too.
I really enjoyed today! I learned how to work a Kelly kettle by putting the straw stuff in and to put the water in a different part. How to make a shelter like were to put the rope and the poles also how to make sparks with the fire steel. I really enjoyed collecting the rocks to keep the shelter from blowing up, making sparks with the fire steel and making our shelter. Also thank you Ms Mackay, Mia, Mrs Rag, Aidan's mum and Grieg's mum for coming on our trip.

Today at Muddisdale we learned how to Leave No Trace, Make a shelter without being instructed and how to use a Flint and Steel. My 3 favourite parts were when I managed to make a big spark with the Flint and Steel, when we tried to use Mrs Wragg's storm proof tent and when we had hot chocolate from the Kelly kettle. It was funny when Courtney's sandwich was munched up in one go by a dog! I can't wait for next Tuesday. From Kalle p5
