An outdoor day

Planning the structure.

Thinking about joins and stability.

How to make the cross piece?

When it works it looks good too!

Can everyone get in and can you close the entrance?

Thinking about how the wind direction affects the tarps.

How to keep space under the tarps.


In at last!

Tying knots and the magic knot trick!

  1. I enjoyed being outside all day. It was fun not to have to be in the class room all day. I liked making the dens, even though they fell down a lot but i still liked it.

  3. Monday was really fun i really enjoyed being outside for a day it was a nice break. Our group all really enjoyed it our one always fell down until we just made 2 tripods out of sticks and put them together and put a stick on top and then put other sticks on for extra support and then put the tarpaulin on. I thought it was a really nice break to get to go outside i hope we can get to do something like this again.

  5. It was fun to try and make the tents and it was a good experience. Our group did not fit all of us in but it was worth it! What was cool was that we had camo nets to use! I couldn't do the knots but it was fun to try. I think we all did really good.

  6. It was fantastic on Monday when we were outside. We had to make shelters in groups, my group contained Maeson, Kieran, Leona, Noah and me. We had to build shelters that could fit all your group inside, you had an entrance you could close and open, it had to be portable and free standing. It took my group forever to build our shelter but in the end we finally got it up and it could fit everyone inside. But then it broke again, which was quite annoying after we spent forever building it. Maeson did all the knots in our shelter and thanks to him the knots stayed tight through out all of it, even when the shelter collapsed. Noah was fantastic on encouraging people to keep going. Kieran was patient and held one of the sides of the tepee most of the day. Leona was really good on just helping out and staying on task, they were all good to work with. Jenna

  7. I liked making the tents it was very interesting and fun. It was Quit hard when we put the top on and where to put the big sticks. inside it was very dark and when we went in it it was falling and made a better one by it's self.

  11. On Monday we all had a lot of fun making the dens. The wind got in our way a little bit, but other than that we actually got inside. In the end.

  12. Making the shelters and learning how to do the magic knot trick was cool to do and was fun to do. My group made a tepee that then started to fall in on us. It was nice to be out of the class and i would love to do it again. Leah
