Today we went on a real life expedition! It was a great opportunity for us to show our own explorer spirit and try and use bravery, courage and problem solving.

 

Mr Kerrins(Principal) arrived at our classroom with a truck full of things we could take on our expedition into the unknown. We had five minutes to choose any item we thought we might need or use on our travels and to get ourselves ready. Needless to say we chose some very interesting things! But how would we transport all of these things?

 

Once we began our journey we quickly found out that a cart full of equipment would fall over and that a wheel barrow was difficult to manoeuvre over rocks. However we continued on through the bushland until the team finally reached the pond. Once there we explored the surrounds and set about trying to gauge the depth of the pond.

 

We quickly began to understand that being an explorer was not an easy occupation and would have been extremely challenging. Finally we packed up all of our equipment and returned to the classroom very tired and proud of our achievements.

 

 

Overall a very enjoyable expedition!
