Year 7 camp

 My favourite food from my year 7 camp was the Butter Chicken and Meatballs we had with rice it was super delicious.

The 2 new things that I learned at year 7 was how to shoot a bow and arrow, I hit a bulls eye. Also how to fail at making a raft our whole raft fell apart.


The 3 best memories at camp was me hitting a bulls eye, my nick name StormCloud and hanging out with my awesome friends I had so much fun can’t wait to go again.

Bivouacs

1. How long does it take to set up this? A couple of skilled scouts can put up a bivouac in 5 min I think that is pretty amazing.

2. What does a bivouac mean? It means a temporary camp without tents or cover, used especially by soldiers or mountaineers.

3. What direction should the bivouac be facing? The bivouac should be facing the wind so you don't get cold when you are sleeping.

4. How to you build a reflector fire? To build a reflector fire you have to have wood leaned up against the fire so the heat reflects of the wood.

5. How is a bivouac useful? It keeps you dry and warp when you are sleeping.

How to brush your teeth in space

1. First you need to fill up a water bag and squeeze it lightly so you have a small ball of water. You must soak your tooth brush in the ball of water.

2. Now you must suck some of the water out of the tooth brush and grab your tooth paste you only need to put a bit of the tooth paste on.

3. And now you put your tooth paste back and now brush your teeth like normal. When you have finished brushing your teeth you suck the tooth paste off the tooth brush. 

4. And swallow it won't kill you.

5. Now you get water in your mouth then rinse the tooth brush in your mouth then you are finished brushing your teeth.

This relates to me because I have never received a Valentines gift from anyone in my whole life ;( 

3 keywords that are related to Valentines day are love, gifts and getting together.

5 facts about today's topic are more than 36 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolate are sold for Valentine's Day each year.

 On average, men shell out $130 each on candy, cards, jewellery, flowers and dates. That’s more than double what women commit to spending,

 About 8 billion candy hearts will be produced this year; that’s enough candy to stretch from Rome, Italy to Valentine, Arizona 20 times and back again.

If this had been me, I would have not even tried wearing them because they are solid objects so what is the point? I wonder how they came up with this random idea?
