3/4 News

This week in Inquiry the students of 3/4 have been looking at 'survival' and the four basic needs of life. They explored how humans depend on the natural features of the environment to meet these needs. 

To help with their new knowledge, students were split into groups of 5. They were each given a different climate in which they had to survive. They were only allowed to take 10 items with them.

Harry: I enjoyed working in a team because I got to work with my friend and come up with items we would take to survive a week on a snowy mountain. The items I would take would be matches, sleeping bags, and a tent. The natural resources we would use from nature would be sticks for firewood, and use other natural resources around our tent to protect us from wild animals.

Haley: Our group worked well because everyone was respectful and gave each other a chance to share their ideas. I would be able to survive a week on our shipwrecked island if I was with these people. Some of the 10 items we would take would be rope, because we can use it to help us climb. A metal bucket to do your business in, plus you can use it to cook, once you wash it REALLY well!

Josh  - I was on a deserted island and I chose to take a rope with me. Why? Because I thought I could use it to rope to a tree to climb and from there I could wait for animals to come out - catch them- and eat them. I could also tie branches together as shelter around where I sleep.

Abbey - I was deserted in the Amazon and I chose to take a First Aid kit with me. Why? If anybody got hurt, I would be able to give First Aid to get them better. In my First Aid kit I would have anti venom because if someone was bitten by a venomous creature, I would have the antidote to save them.

Benjamin - I was deserted in the middle of the desert and I chose to take a water detector with me. Why? I could find a well or a water source near a village and drink the water I found to survive. I know that you can only survive without water for three days so I knew this was important. It is essential.
