Bivouac Making

Today we had to skim and scan a piece of text and answer the following questions to do with bivouacs,

How long does it take to set up this? It takes about 5 minutes to set up a good bivouac

What does the word bivouac mean? Bivouac means, A temporary camp without tents or cover, used especially by soldiers or mountaineers.

What direction should the bivouac be facing? The bivouac should be facing the reflector fire, to keep you warm at night. It should also face away from the wind.

Next I had to make up some questions of my own,

1. What does a reflector fire do?

2. Which knot is the best to use when tying your sheet to the trees?

3. What can be heavy when on a hike?

Answers

1. Keep you warm at night

2. The harvesters knot is the best

3. The sheets you get from B&Q

Brushing your teeth in space!

Today we watched a video that taught us how to brush our teeth in space and heres how,

Step 1. Grab your packet of water and pour a tiny bit of water along your toothbrush. (don't pour too much as the water will fly everywhere!)

Step 2. Next get your normal toothpaste and swipe some of that onto your brush.

Step 3. Brush your teeth like normal.

Step 4. Since you can't spit out your used toothpaste, unfortunately you have to swallow.

Step 5. Now you have to clean your toothbrush. Find your packet of water again and pour a little bit onto your brush and suck the water off.

Step 6. Now that your brush is clean, put it back into it's case.

You're pearly whites are now shining, so start smiling!

Me in the morning

Today I have to write a set of instructions of how to be me.

1. You will hear my Mum's voice telling you to get up but just go back under the covers for another 5 minutes.

2. My Mum will tell you again and yank open the curtains. The light will blind your eyes and your body will slowly get up.

3. When your fully awake, go to the couch and start watching Phineas and Ferb after about 5 minutes of that drag yourself to the kitchen and start making some toast. When thats done go back to the couch and watch T.V until your toast is finished.

4. After breakfast put your plate on the bench and start brushing your pearly whites. Now its time for rinse. The mouthwash will be waiting for you on the bench.

5. Once your teeth are sparkling clean, go to your room and get changed into your school uniform and then do a quick pose in the mirror. Next start tying up your hair into the famous, pony tail. If your feeling a bit funky then do a small plait and tie it up along with your ponytail.

6. Now your looking super good but it's time to make your bed or what I like to call (My best friend!) look nice and tidy. I know its a pain making your bed but your toys will thank-you, (and so will your Mum).

7. Next you go get the animal food and go outside to feed your little guinea-pig and your BIG bunny. Don't worry about their water, thats your sister's job.

8. When you go back inside, put the food away, wash your hands, and pick up your iPod. Play on it for a little while until your Mum says its time to go.

9. Once she's says its time to go, chuck on your good looking sandals and put on your school bag. Lucky for you, your Mum is super awesome so your bag will be packed up and ready to go!

10. Finally hop in the car and jam to the music playing on the radio!

Have fun at school!!
