We have completed our novel: HATCHET, by Gary Paulsen. We all thoroughly enjoyed the book as well as the activities that we were involved in during the last week. 
One activity was to get into groups and list items that we thought Brian would find in the survival kit. How many of these items were in the one he retrieved from the plane?

Matches
knife
first aid
sleeping bag
food
compass
flare gun
foil blanket
tarpaulin
bug spray
walkie talkie
fresh water
tent
survival book
map
life jacket
whistle

SHELTERS OR BOWS and ARROWS:

























Room 4 chose small groups to work on their shelters of Bows and Arrows, only using things found within our school grounds. Even though we didn't have a hatchet to use like Brian did, we were allowed to have our wood cut by Mrs Ewen.
