Orienteering

For the past few weeks we have been doing something called Whetu Survivor.  In this we have been researching all the things you need to know to survive in the bush.  Once we finished doing that we celebrated and did some cooking, orienteering and learning how to start a fire.  The first rotation the Knowledge Seekers did was the orienteering!

In the orienteering we had a map with clues on where to find the keys.  The keys were letters, each time we found a key we had to write it down on a piece of paper.  Once you had found all the keys, you needed to unscramble them which had to be the answer to this question:What do bears call campers in sleeping bags?  At first my group were just making up random words.  After a while we starting complaining that we don't have bears in NZ.  Then Miss Sowden said that the answer was edible and straight away I knew that the answer was burrito!  I think we were the first group to get the answer!  I really enjoyed this and at the same time I found it really challenging!  I would love to do it again!
