4-5's MEC EXCURSION:

On Wednesday 27th of July Grade 4-5 set off on our MEC Excursion with Trish.  Firstly we had an early recess at the MEC, then we walked inside the building and had a talk about what we were going to do.  Then we started walking up to the shelter building and we got split up into two groups.  After that we had lunch and then we did nature art using materials on the ground.  Soon after that we had damper.  I put butter and jam in to my damper, it was very interesting and enjoyable.

On the 27th of July the 4-5 Class went on a MEC Excursion up to the mountains and we were split into two teams and attempted to build a waterproof hut made out of logs and sticks.  We also had to make sure everybody on the team fitted into the hut and someone had to make up a story on how they got into the hut.  We also did nature art out of moss, rocks and sticks.  We cooked damper and put butter, honey and jam in the middle of the damper.  We made natural paint by putting rocks in water and scraping it on the ground to make a plain like mixture to use on our skin or other rocks.  Finally, we meditated for two minutes to hear the sounds of nature.  Personally I thought our excursion was wonderful.
