Today Bill came to our school. He helped us build 3 tents out on the field. It took quite a while and the ground was quite muddy.Bill put us into groups first. Then he gave us instructions. Then we started to make what he had said. We had quite a good time. My arms were a bit tired at the end.

I was surprised when it was finished because it always fell down. Nicole

I liked it when we were trying to get to sleep in the tent

I was surprised that we were building a tent because I thought we would look for squares orienteering. It was better than I thought and funnier because the tent kept on falling down.

Hannah

It was funny when I was snoring in the tent that I had built.
Elliot

I liked it when we were all in the tent because we were all taking off our coats and jumpers and I took off my hat and gloves. We used them as pillows and we all pretended to go to sleep as well.
Erin

It was a challenge because we had to cooperate a lot and listen to instructions

It was a workout for my muscles
Abbie.

We had to use our brains a lot.

It made me feel upset when my team said that it was going to fall down.

We got on together and everyone was listening to the instructions we got on because we all helped each other.
Olivia & Erin

When people cooperated but sometimes people shouted at us because some of it fell down, it made me feel sad. But I liked working in a group because it can be hard on your own and you need people to help you. When I was holding two poles Katie came and helped me.

It got our minds working
