Super Survival Skills!

On Friday, the Year 3 children put their survival skills to the test by taking on the very dangerous terrain also known as the school field!

They had to display resilience, resourcefulness, reciprocity and reflectiveness to ensure that they could survive in the wild.

The children had to work together to solve the first problem of how to make a fire and what resources they would need. After mastering task 1 it was swiftly on to the next challenge - how to build a shelter, the children demonstrated great reciprocity during this task as well as using their resourcefulness skills to locate materials and then build a shelter that would protect them from the elements. The last challenge that awaited the children, was working out which plants, flowers and berries would be safe to eat and which would make them poorly. They demonstrated great reflectiveness skills during this part of the challenge, planning carefully using the key and plant guide and discussing their learning with their peers. 

We are very proud of the children, and of how committed they all were to complete each of the challenges. Well done Year 3, you are all super survival skill specialists!
